Guild Wars 2

In the skills section there is a tag for the Mistfire Wolf as an elite skill. However there is no indication of what you need to get this wolf. Does anybody know?

You need to have purchased some sort of special edition of the game for it to be unlocked.

You have to have purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition or what ever other ones had it. It’s a garbage skill anyway so if you don’t have access to it no loss. It is more of an early elite skill / status skill.

Oh great thanks for the reply and also that I am not missing out on something great. It is probably like the silly sunglasses one other game gave you for buying an elite edition lol

It’s too weak compared to the “real” elites to be worth keeping. It doesn’t even work underwater. Its use lies in two factors: it looks cool, and you can use it the moment you turn 30 without paying skill points.

Which are nice, but hardly game breaking or must-haves. Just a teeny benefit of having bought a more expensive version of the game.

Actually its the elite I use most of all. It makes plenty of dmg and recharges fast:) No “garbage skill” is u ask me, Just Trogdor!

I bought the deluxe edition as soon as it was available and I knew that mistfire wolf would likely be slightly less good than other elites, but I like it for the fact that not all classes and races have an elite than can summon another pet/ally. It is nice for variety and also cause you get it at 30 without having to save up skill points.

Misfire Wolf is wonderful for solo play:

- short cooldown

- good damage with an AOE

- and damage sponge

One of the builds I use is Spirit Guardian for Solo play. I find that the Mistfire Wolf is a excellent addition to my skills, due to it’s cooldown, and AOE.
Thematically, it also makes sense over the profession elites for this type of character.

I would place it slightly above average for usefulness if you were to list off all the profession and racial elites in game (of all races/professions)

Depending on the class you are playing, the Mistfire can be a good option.
On my mesmer while leveling/PvE I use it.

I still use it for certain characters and situations. Not every character has stealth or speed. Drop a wolf on the mob that just wont give up, and go about what ever it was you trying to do, like open a chest or mine a rich node.
