does movement speed stack + swiftness

[winterlove.6834]

if i made a exotic set just for runnin and put speed runes on it would it stack with a utility that provides 25% speed increase as well as swiftness? like moa stance?

Movement speed is different from other stats in that it has a number of different components, each with its own caps. All of this is covered on the wiki at

The short of it is: your best bet for non-mounted, renewable movement speed is 33% from Swiftness.

* Swiftness is a flat 33% bonus and cannot be improved upon, except in special, temporary circumstances (Mist Form & Superspeed being the main two)

* Swiftness duration can be stacked using any buff-duration boost, including speed runes. For a pre-mount JP, I could easily stack 5 minutes of swiftness before the end.

* The fixed-increase buffs from signets (and other sources) do not stack intensity with each other nor with swiftness.

Swiftness overrides any bonus to movement speed granted by abilities or traits: You’ll run at 133% for the duration of the Swiftness and then revert to the 125% when it expires.
