That weird plant-looking creature that looks like a bundle of branches.

What is up with that? It’s not even an ANIMAL! It makes zero sense when compared to every other pet in the game.

Is this for PoF, or was it introduced in one of the newer chapters I haven’t played? I only saw it because I tried the Elite Spec demo (but didn’t actually play because I despise WvW and PvP).

It’s called a Jacaranda and was an air elementalist in the desert in the first game as a foe.

The iboga’s also a plant, for the record.

Also, they’re as much of an animal as the fern hound is, at any rate.

Its from PoF. Try it out its actually quiet good. In beastform and in normalform. Good healing and a burst coupled with a nice CC.

The pull of the iboga over 1200 distance is really cool Hope they won’t nerf it for wvw

Honestly, every pull skill should have the same pull distance as its range. It’s kind of stupid to have a 1200 range skill (path of scars) with only a 450 range pull.

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

You used to be able to get it to pull 3 separate times on a single target if you used it while the target was affected by cripple or chilled and you moved backwards after you used it.

I do remember that happening. I still think the pull being less than half the range of the skill is stupid. Like what am I going to do if I’ve got a sword in my mainhand and my weapon swap is on cooldown?

Use Hornet Sting as soon as you cast PoS, then Monarchs immediately after and close the gap. By the time you take the slide into account and possibly two pulls from PoS you’ll be pretty close, certainly closer than you were before you hit them at 1200 range with PoS. I don’t think it’s supposed to be a get over here move.

But yeah, I do agree with you.

I know this may be very scary and confusing for some people… but there was a game called Guild Wars… It came before Guild Wars 2…. really scary I know.

But Ya, in all seriousness that pet came from a foe in GW: Nightfall.
