Movement skill

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

A movement skill is a skill with an auxiliary effect of moving the character. The majority of skills that affect the character's movement will include combo effects such as a leap finisher, but other skills, such as Gunstinger do not have a combo effect but still count as a movement skill for the purposes of traits and relic effects

What constitutes as a movement skill for the effects of traits and relics is inconsistent. Skills classified as shadowsteps, such as Thief icon small.pngShadowstep.png Shadowstep, will reposition the character without movement or an animation of movement and are not counted as a movement skill, and yet shadowsteps such as Bladesworn icon small.pngFlicker Step.png Flicker Step are counted as a movement skill
