This Gray Tree Frog (Hyla sp.) was discovered at the Bearbower Sand Prairie. They have the ability to change color from gray to green as a means of avoiding detection.

fuckin hell so xkit has decided to take a giant poop and i had to snip this and make a WHOLE SEPARATE POST to reply but

yeah! i’m learning to command strikes (if you’re NA and you see Avelynne as commander in lfg feel free to join up) and here’s some explanations because i’m pretty sure some people here need.

shiverpeaks pass: super easy, press 1 to win.

bears: either you’ll find groups that really want you to be all raid rotation dps and you’ll self-sustain OR you’ll need at least one healer. you’ll start on voice (bowbear, not to be confused with ranger spec bearbow), and you’ll dps that one down to about 30% (20% if your commander is feeling super spicy). the bears will teleport a few times. bowbear will head to the outside of the arena at 1st teleport, usually you’ll swap to hammerbear and run to him at 2nd, run over to hammerbear at 3rd, then they do a stupid lil dance in the middle of the arena where you have to break bar and there’s sometimes invisible lava that you have to not stand in because lava hurts. usually you’ll keep smacking whichever one your commander targets because they’re both there and you’re probably cleaving. ideally, they’ll die together but if they don’t, whichever one remains will stand in the middle, start yelling at you lots, and turn 3/4 of the arena into fire that you dodge. stand at the quarter towards the door while you do whatever, then dodge left until it dies.

fraenier: needs at least one good healer imo. stand in middle, do NOT follow the bird. if you get target, move away from as many of your group as possible so he can yeet you. try to not get icecubed (those can bug and trap you for the whole fight) but that’s hard. he turns into an ice construct. break bar is whatever tbh. the red circles that happen in construct phase hurt a whole lot when everyone stacks up. after construct phase, there’s persistent damage from a blizzard, but he dies easy. enjoy your loot.

cold war: waves of enemies then bosses,while gunning down helecopters, all followed by final boss! pray you get the stupid bear early. save your artillery for the waves unless instructed otherwise. if you CAN pull, PLEASE pull (looking at you, soulbeast/reaper/dh) and focus on yanking in the cannoneers if you have a focused pull. druid brings iboga pet for waves, NO EXCEPTIONS, and if you don’t have healscourge, you sacrifice sun spirit for SaR. turns out HS is super overpowered in the more difficult strikes so if you want groups real easy, gear one. ideally, you want healbrand/alacren/hs/many pulls/big dps. this one awards up to 8 chests depending on how big your dps is. some bosses have green circle mechanic, which targets one player and as many people as possible have to stand in it or else it will kill the one player it has targeted; the rest don’t have dumb gimmicks but they are obnoxious. Final boss has all the garbage that the champs you fought had, plus assassins (DODGE), a mechanic that means you can’t stand on top of each other because it hurts lots, and propaganda balloons. before the strike starts you are presented with a United Legions Waystation and you buy EMPs - save those for this purpose. try to not get run over by cars. PROFIT.

boneskinner: welcome to nascar. stack on tag, dodge left every ~5 seconds or so or you die. stacking means the bad circles take up less space, so your squad has more space to dodge. if you must dodge in a direction that isn’t left, go backwards, then simply rejoin your squad. sometimes there will be a cone attack; if you’re to the right of it you’re fine, if you’re in it, step left. boneyboi will jump up in the air sometimes - dodge when red circle covers ~80% of the room. he will also run to put out torches - pray you don’t get trampled. he will do massive stompy damage when he comes back so try to dodge. breakbar on this is huge - like, you want it to happen, but i’ve almost never seen it happen so good luck. hs is basically mandatory here, renegade with bubble ability due to wisps is so nice, and healbrand with stab = very yes.

whisper: fuck this guy i hate him so much. he shouldn’t be as difficult as he is but almost anything can bug him out. 100%-75% - go nuts man. you get launched into the air and you can glide back down. every so often, you get a large aoe circle with you at the center and you gotta spread around the arena/try not to overlap with others then dodge so you don’t get spiked (if you overlap, you can spike someone else). green circles happen but you’re all in the middle anyway, so nbd. 75% you get exiled to clone rooms, and apparently a fun new bug is that if you dps your clone to fast it’ll bug the boss so do that slow and don’t use skills 7-0. 75%-25%: all mechanics from before but now he chains you. these chains have spikes, so like, don’t stand in other peoples’ chains and don’t stand on top of other people when you are chained. the chains meet inside the boss’ hitbox so anything that sends you through the middle of the boss’ hitbox is not viable for this fight, including some classes unless you are extremely good at them! boss will teleport around the arena to the edges. greens happen around the edges, and if your squad is rezzing a downed player, please bring the green to your squad! CHAINS DO NOT HURT IN THE GREENS! following your green, you get a break bar which, honestly, don’t worry about this dude is basically paper. rinse and repeat until 25% and you get sent to clone rooms again and like, don’t die. hopefully the boss decides to NOT BUG FOR NO REASON, and if that’s a go he’ll spawn in the middle of the arena, do an ice blast, and start bullet hell phase. these explode in an aoe and hurt lots! since you only have a few healers plus your self-sustain, it may be helpful to stay on half the arena. it IS possible for a necro to spawn a flesh wurm in the boss’ hitbox and the wurm just eats the damage from the orbs. btw you still get green circles lol.

if you don’t have a necro doing that, basically ranged attack and pray.

sometimes, someone will go down in a clone room at 25% and that means the boss just sits there like a dipshit and you get a free kill, but i think that only works if they go into downstate, kill their clone, then pick themselves up. any other scenario results in all mechanics all the time and it’s...wonderful.

IN CONCLUSION the real endgame boss is arenanet, thank you for reading.

The abundant Hoary Alyssum (Berteroa incana) at Bearbower Sand Prairie were attracting a variety of butterflies including this American Copper (Lycaena phlaeas).

I appreciate the twitch clip, thank you! Yeah it looks like Rangers will have to try a bit harder and as for "forgetting to use F2" I feel that lmao. You are right that improved AI wouldn't tell pets the best way to use their abilities, I just forsee myself forgetting to use my pet a lot because I am not a good player lol. I do wish maybe one pet abilty could be kept on autocast though, such as the Drake's bite, like our 1 weapon skill.

If there is a brightside, it will mean pets like the Devourer and Shark that were detriments with their fear and retreat abilities will no longer be a problem and hey who knows, maybe Ranger will get a bit more respect and escape the Bearbow stigma a bit.

I await the Untamed recap and am hoping you'll discuss other Ranger changes as well. Admittedly the pet skill changes have left me with some concerns and would have preferred AI improvements over making that something else to juggle. Is that for all Rangers or just for Untamed?

As I understood, this is a change that will affect rangers in general. It was worded a little bit weirdly though, I clipped it for you so you can double-check me on it.

This change is a huge improvement in my opinion though.

I know this adds difficulty to ranger and I myself am guilty of just... forgetting to use the F2 of my pets, but allowing players to directly control their pets' actions gives access to so many new skills and opportunities. For example, right now I'm using a smokescale in PvP and I cannot count the number of times their knockdown could have saved me from downstate or an incoming burst if I had access to it.

An improved AI still wouldn't be able to tell the pet when it is the best to use their skills - that depends entirely on the situation, your preferences, and decisions, especially in competitive scenarios. And being able to tell my jacaranda to first root the enemy and then blast them with lightning sounds amazing.

CMC also mentioned that this might mean it'll be worth picking pets in the future that are currently not worth taking along with you. I'm really curious how this will play out.

Yikes I totally dropped the ball with finishing this screenshot series didn’t I?

These are basically collections of my four oldest characters for my 4 year anniversary on Guild Wars 2. I should’ve technically finished by June but! Things happen and I am horrible with deadlines 🙃

Anyway! This is my Norn Ranger, Mika Icerunner. When I created her I had already been through the Norn starter area and hated it so I was dreading starting up there again even though I had her character concept finalized in my head. But I quickly discovered that a lot of my issues were just usually newbie struggles and a Ranger could adapt to open world quickly (especially as the dreaded Bearbow).

I go through periods where I don’t play Mika as often as my other older characters even though she’s pretty decently geared out, and she kinda occupies this weird background presence in my headcanons even though she’s kinda major in them? But as far as aesthetics goes she’s the character I’m most satisfied with and no matter what I’m doing playing her always feels like a grand adventure.

and i’ll ship myself with jefferson thank you very much ;)

@guildwars2 please use the opportunity of soulbeast to make bearbow a viable build so that I can fill pugs with dread when they aren’t sure if i’m a noob or not
