Anyways, the skin looks very odd in my opinion and resembles a werewolf more than an actual bear. Yet another proof that they can't design bears properly. That doesn't mean the skin is bad. I actually like it but what's confusing me is that it is being sold as a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur.3465 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The skin is just too cool! I really wish Warclaw was more useful in PvE when it comes to travel. Such a glorious skin though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaxTheGreatOne.9472 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Oh,... it's a bear. I figured it be a fat hyena, which happens if you farm noobs and PvE-ers trying to find a way to get a Gift of Battle to fed your mount. the armor does fit with Warbringer, The bandages are a biut slim maybe. But all in all good effort. On the few occasions I still log in I still play WvW now and then, and it would suit my char warrior perfectly.

Substance E.4852 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Okay, nice skin Anet. Looks appropriately intimidating and combat themed. Now do something about it being nothing but a worse raptor in pve. It's engage skill doesn't even do anything beyond the base damage that several other do on top of an additional effect like pulling in enemies or applying a barrier. There's currently no reason to use the warclaw outside of WvW other than for RP value and there's no real reason for this to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't say they wouldn't allow it, but that they wouldn't make sure that it isn't weaker than the other mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That's one ugly bear/hyena hybrid... at least imo. The guild leopard looks far better! What a strange and ugly grin. The mouth looks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same identical running animation to the rest of the warclaw/griffon skins.

I think I am the only one that distracted by the tail lol. It's kind of like Aureen being a Wyvern for so long that she finally picked up the front 2 legs and changed into a dragon. Once you see that its stuck there. Still looks like a good skin though. > @"Randulf.7614" said: > And here he is! > Thanks for the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elden Arnaas.4870 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 re: No not really. I'm not a paid researcher of information that was previously released about the game. There are plenty of dev videos and interviews about the warclaw from its release - These dev interviews and videos do not state what you assert they do. Or it was erroneous, some loose-cannon's opinion, etc.. It is not that "The warclaw was originally intended for PvE" or "The warclaw was intended specifically for PvE". But the war claw obviously was eventually intended for PvE, because we have it in PvE, and it isn't an accident. It was a willful, intended choice. Definitely a bad choice the way it was implemented. But a deliberate choice nonetheless. It would have been so much better to make raptor be present in both PvE and WvW, but with different special skills. (And obtainable through PoF or WvW) That would have been simple and done. PvE players would have no reason to covet/resent a separate WvW mount. But ANet had to twist it into a reason to drag PvE only players into WvW. As if that would magically make a significant portion of PvE only players like and continue to play WvW.(Instead of just making a lot of new scrubs to pull down WvW during that time) And as A PvE only player, I can tell you I resented having to get a WvW mount for those times when I'll need to use WvW to get Gifts of Battle. So I think a lot of us can agree it was poorly implemented, and maybe even unwanted. But no one can say it was not *intended* - 'cuz there it is in PvE.(and it isn't a hack, exploit, or cheat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to mount while using the kodan tonic?! As far as I know you can't mount with tonics so it must either be an exploit or a hack you're using. Or perhaps your screenshot is photoshopped which is a bit irritating in my opinion. Also as far as I know the kodan tonic doesn't display armor skins such as the shoulder gear you're having there.

That's just my armour. I'll post a full screenie of him. The helmet is from the Frostgorge dungeon, shoulders and gloves from Achievement track and I forget the rest. No tonic used.

As others have already pointed out, Arenanet themselves have stated several times they have no intention of making warclaw a useful pve mount. All the argumental rage you'd like to conjur will not change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They specifically stated they purposely did not go this route by intention. PvE players have no reason to covet a separate WvW mount except for impractical visual choices, just as WvW players have no reason to covet a separate PvE mount except for impractical visual choices. You can rage against this choice all you want, it doesn't change the fact that this was a purposeful decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody uses dungeon armor skins anymore because everyone needs to show off with their legendary armors and stacked infusions these days so I kinda forgot that this helmet existed. Glad to see there are actually people still using old or non popular skins. Looks quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
