Tekoneiric.6817 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Before I give this suggestion let me say that I know that the Warclaw was designed as a WvW mount. No need to restate that, doing so IMHO is trolling. Since so many mounts crossover in abilities I was thinking that it would be nice if in PvE the warclaw would encroach on the abilities of the Raptor but with a twist. First give the Warclaw the ability to long jump but if the target end of the jump is a cliff edge the jump software routine would calculate the jump to land right at the edge of the target cliff to which the warclaw clings to edges and climbs up. This would offer an advantage in that the warclaw would hit the target edge rather than just transverse. If the target is a narrow prominence that could be missed by a Raptor jump, the Warclaw could hit it directly. Since it would increase the use of the Warclaw, ANet would sell more skins. With this ability I can see Warclaw specific jumping puzzles being implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So, you're combining raptor, springer and skyscale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just suggesting jump to target as in cats ability to leap to a specific point with a stylish hang and climb up at the end. Many of the mounts overlap on skills as it is.

kharmin.7683 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I disagree that "many mounts overlap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Skyscale is springer and griffon minus the speed; Roller beetle is griffon minus the flight; Raptor and Jackal are more or less interchangeable apart from jackal portals. That's enough overlap to convince me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyscale and griffon can fly springer and skyscale can do vertical jump/fly skyscale and skimmer hover raptor and jackal do long leaps/sand jumps griffon and roller beetle have high speed to cross maps. skimmer sort of crosses over with gliding in that you can glide down with a steeper slope Giving the warclaw a leap to target in PvE would just give players another way to use it while giving the devs an option of doing a new type of JP for it.
