Notes

Bug:

The quickness in WvW/PvP is actually 3s instead of 2s.

• Although the tool-tip refers specifically to dodging, it actually applies on any evade.
• The boon application order is:  Fury,  Regeneration, and then  Quickness.
  • This means you will always benefit from  Chaotic Persistence's duration increase for Quickness.
