Guild Wars 2

Earlier today on the newest LW map, I and a few other random players were taking down a vet stonehead and then suddenly it was swarmed by giant black birds (ravens? about the same size of the creature). I was instantly amazed (I needed to find out what exactly that was about) by the sight and the first thing it made me think about was Hunter’s Call (rangers warhorn skill). Not too long ago I had come to learn that there is a tonic to make you larger so I put 2 and 2 together and tested this with my human ranger. Sadly I did not get the result I was looking for so I figured perhaps I could make a topic about it and see if anyone could tell me if they know anything about this? Unfortunately I didn’t think to screenshot it.

Could it be a skill that was affected by the tonic? Or a bug perhaps? Really hoping it’s not a bug, would love to call down giant birds from the heavens and peck the eyes from my foes. ;-;

it’s a size scaling thing. sometimes the birds from hunter’s call are huge if the enemy is. seen it loads of times.

Ah okay, thank you! ;u;

haha, yeah, I kind of love my necros “skeletal hands” attack on huge critters, because those things are the size of a tall norn!

Sounds like it was the Superior Rune of the Mad King effect scaled on a large creature.

Although it usually makes sense the scaling effect can be pretty hilarious in some situations. Below is a screenshot of my charr standing next to a chicken, and then holding the exact same bird. I guess whoever programmed bundles didn’t think about the fact that some of them might end up being animals.

I’ve also seen people use skills like the rangers warhorn one on giant enemies specifically for this purpose, because the effect can be pretty crazy.

Lol, that pic makes the scaling issue with Charr Engi Bomb Kit worth it.
