Momentum

Attacks supported by Momentum increase their attack speed based on this.
Swiftness

You have increased movement speed.
Momentum Support is a support gem. When you use the supported attack skill, it grants a stack of Momentum, granting increased attack speed per stack. Momentum is removed when you move while you have it. At five stacks, Momentum is removed to grant the Swiftness buff, which grants increased movement speed.
Duration: Modifiers to skill effect duration also apply to the duration of Swiftness granted by the skill
Minions: Minions fully benefit from Momentum support, visibly gaining swiftness upon reaching maximum momentum stacks.
Totems: Totems also benefit from Momentum support, visibly gaining swiftness upon reaching maximum momentum stacks.
Momentum stack calculation: Momentum is gained right when you start the attack, which means your first attack will have the attack speed with 1 Momentum.
For non-channelling skills, the attacks which puts you at maximum momentum stacks will have its attack speed at max momentum, despite the fact all the stacks were removed to gain Swiftness.
For channelling skills, attack speed is calculated dynamically, so when you reach maximum momentum stacks, it will have its attack speed at 0 momentum. This causes channelling skills to have its attack speed at most one under the maximum momentum stacks.[1]

Right click to remove from a socket.: This support works favourably with Shield Charge, as the Momentum buff is not lost at the end of movement. Using Shield Charge with the cursor close to the character will cause Shield Charge to attack in place, which permits Momentum to stack and grant Swiftness.[2] Level 9 Momentum would be best for this scenario as it only requires 3 stacks of Momentum to trigger Swiftness.
