Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure how to describe this. This problem showed up while my wife and I were playing, and appears to be a visual effects bug.

I do not know if it is specific to the ranger class.

What happens is that through some mechanism, unknown to me, a ghost figure of an eagle will appear right above my characters head, but only on someone elses screen. As I stated, this was something my wife noticed. We sit right next to each other when playing GW2, and I was able to lean over and look at her screen, and this big semi-transparent eagle was attached to my rangers head.
It appears to be the effects for some sort of buff, but I had no buffs or active signets on at the time. It also appears to persist until waypointing. We have no idea what causes it to happen, but to my knowledge my current build doesn’t use any traits or signets that cause this display. I can’t recall ever seeing it at all. The closest large bird looking effect I’ve seen is the one that accompanies the #3 GS skill for ranger, but from what I can tell it’s a different bird.

If the ranger was using GS3, the jump / rush / flying attack, and during that skill cast they change weapons, they will keep the wings on until they map or waypoint.

This is a long time bug that is cool and annoying at same time…
