Guild Wars 2

I don’t care if the skill is horrible, I’d just like to know your favorite animation.

Back in BWE2, what sold me on the Ranger was the Counter animation with Greatsword. When I saw my Norn female plant the sword into the ground and kick off of it and around, my jaw dropped. It was just so cool. My Ranger is a human now, and she does the same animation, so I’m happy with that. I haven’t seen any other races or sexes do it, so I’m unaware of any variants to it.

I really enjoy that Barrage rains arrows and the totemic themes that Sword and Greatsword have. I do wish the bear wasn’t so prominent in Maul, and the bee buzz irks me with Sword, but the idea and execution is so cool. It’s what I hoped Spirits would be more akin to, actual animal presences.

I also thought the piranha summoning skill was pretty humorous the first night in beta I worked on underwater skills.

Do you guys have a Ranger favorite? Or other class, if yours is taken?

Swoop for me … I just love too see my little ranger fly.

Drop kick is hilarious with the sword, the root makes me hate it though.

And Serpent Strike is a cool roll/hit. Wish more utilities of ours were movement based.

All of the GS animations are good, feels like they spent more time on that weapon than all the other Ranger ones.

i’m a big fan of serpent strike and swoop.

Haha yea counterattack on GS is beastly. Thief goes into stealth, use counterattack, drop kick the thief in the gut and they land on their butt. So satisfying.

I like rapid fire on longbow when you are using quickness. You fire so fast and it looks awesome.

Charr Whirling Axe Seems so Powerful.

Hornet sting, Monarch leap.
