At any rate, the last bit of the trailer which has the ‘Mursaat’ firing an energy beam shows a long, serpentine body. I don’t remember the Mursaat being serpentine. Perhaps they are ascended Forgotten?

The angle does make it look like that but if you look closely you can see two legs. It’s just that as it fires the beam the legs bend.

Fun fact: those energy beings use the same frames as Lich Form. I recognized the positioning for the beam attack instantly as the skill #1 for Lich Form.

ANet is actually pretty good at recycling animations without making it seem too obvious. another example in that trailer is the engineer’s hammer attack, which is a mix of warrior hammer 4 and hammer F1, just chained together in a single skill, with different particles over it, and with movement added to it. and there’s the druid using ele air staff 2 too.

The animation is just Warrior GS with a F1 Hammer stun on the end. The Hammer Champion from Queen’s Jubilee has a similar ability.

Most likely they either come from blessings from the Molten Alliance or Mordremoth happening to team up with Primordus who just so happens to be living in Maguuma Wastes(this team up may explain why the Mordrem are so dry looking compared to the Sylvari and Sylvan Hounds).

If Mordremoth has indeed allied with Primordus then Scarlet’s creation of the Molten Alliance would be symbolic of Primordus just as Mordremoth himself is represented by the Toxic Alliance.

Of course the Molten Alliance and Flame Legion themselves mey have been corrupted by Primordus considering their Magma arms seen here: !http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/63/Veteran_Molten_Gunner_and_Molten_Igniter.jpg! !http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/b/b1/Veteran_Molten_Shaman.jpg! !http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/60/Veteran_Flame_Legion_Fire_Shaman.jpg!

To you and the others talking about Primordus dragons etc. with the fire-breathing Mordrem-looking creatures:

Fire plants is NOT new in GW2

But neither are bee-housing plants.

And on an aside:

Flame Legion’s burning insides don’t match the description Jeff Grubb, Ree Soesbee, and Scott McGough gave for how Primordus would corrupt living beings. They said that living beings would be encased in stone and their bodies slowly liquified over time. So unless there’s an encasing in stone scenario we’re completely missing, the Baelfire Rituals that the Godforged go through is not Primordus corruption.

The Volcanic Fractal grawl shaman, however, matches this description with his stone shields and then becoming a lava-being that wields a destroyer bow.

Interview where they said such.

Yeah, I’d more so inclined to draw comparisons with Primordus’ method of corruption with that of say the events of Pompeii and other devastating volcanic eruptions in history. Obviously with more magic involved by like those victims in Pompeii, they’re encased in ash but everything under that layer is incinerated. I do not believe Primordus cares much for flesh, so it’d be nothing really like Icebrood or Branded.

It’d also explain why his forces have things like Trolls or Harpies, they’re just the foundation of which to build a body over. Pretty diabolical if that’s the case, Primordus is one evil magma-jama. Huehuehuehue

rule of thumb: if it doesn’t look destroyer-esque (read: cooleed magma for skin with cracks showing the molten insides), primordus is probably unrelated.
