Guild Wars 2

My character has been seen with swirling animation. From my point of view everything is normal, no swirl.

Does anyone know where this effect comes from? Is it my armor/rune set, or my weapon/sigil set?

Animation bug from using certain weapon skills.

It doesn’t affect my play style and will only appear after certain skill sets are applied, a bug? Hmmm … No, not a bug! A bug would be something that would effect playing, like rubber banding.

No, a bug is anything that produce an unexpect behavior/action.
In that specific case is an graphical bug, a pretty common one btw.

Had this before. appeared after using greatsword 3 skill “swoop”. It went away after a while haha

Well, since I personally can’t see the U.S.E. happening, and it’s only visible my friends, then a common one-sided graphic “bug” will not be an issue, at least for me.

Thank You.

Yeah, you don’t need to worry at all, I personally think it looks great and I see a ranger with that

oh .. and you are correct .. AgitatedFox it is the after effects of “Swoop” thank you for your insight

The bug of this that affects swoop should leave you with a flapping eagle animation (of swoop). I believe this is the third GS auto attack swirl bug.

The eagle has to be my ultimate favourite! I once had the shark one stuck on me, looks hilarious on dry land.

I hate the eagle one, the endless flapping sound is like nails on a chalk board and it looks like it is trying to carry my asura away. Love when they shark bugs out though.
