  Also thank you for the cheeky little skyscale mount leak dulfy!

That Hummingbird looks outstanding! But it has the same problem as the Shrine Guardian did: I never use that mount. If I’m on land, I want to use my Raptor, as it is faster and is more useful in combat. To switch to using the Jackal or in this case the Skimmer, would mean I move slower on land, and lose some combat effectiveness. Paying 2000 gems for the privilege of using a less optimal choice of mounts doesn’t make sense to me. Each to their own of course.

  But skimmer shouldn’t be use on land. It’s a water mount and while on water it’s really fast

I thought I was gonna see complaints about the hummingbird here, but seems pretty well received. I guess tastes vary!

I really hope Ritualist could be some elite spec for Guardian down the line. In some xpac that might never exist.

  The way this game is going I have a feeling we’ll get maps in Cantha soon enough, but rit will probably be a Rev specialization, they are too similar thematically and they already have a PvP title for winning 150 games as revenant.
  
  I’m just sad about this outfit tho cause this whole time I was hopin there was an expac team chuggin along on Cantha ever since PoF came out and thought season 5 would happen cause they needed more time… but looks like anet really thought Living World was a sustainable business model again, oh well.

DULFY! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SHOW THE NEW SKIMMER SKIN ON THE WATER! IT’S THE ONLY MOUNT THAT HOVERS OVER THE WATER, AND YOU DIDN’T! NOT A GOOD MARKETING FOR ARENANET PRODUCTS! MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU SHOWCASE ARENANET’S PRODUCTS, YOU’LL THINK A LITTLE BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. UGH…

  jesus, exhale…

  Dulfy is showcasing the mount, not the environment.

Ritualist Outfit boy.. they hit me with GW1 vibes again.. and it fooking hurt [worked] again.. I’m gonna need to buy this one I think.

That hummindbird is sure a creative take on the skimmer, but I feel that constant fluttering motion and sound would annoy me within a minute.

Ritualist :O

Still want my Luxon Assassin armor but nice to see something from Cantha.
Canthan Peasant

Ritualist Outfit !! Cantha Confirmed??!
Scutilla

That Ritualist outfit just hit me right in the nostalgias.

Hummingbird is not for me but still cool, I’m a fan of mount skins that drastically change the species of the mount but still manage to work within the base framework.
Betaraptor

Am i the only one who really dislikes this skin? Honestly, i think that a dragonfly skin would be better, this already looks like it and it would even fit that hover over water theme..
Aglaron

Oh my! Ritualist! I want Cynn’s dress as well.
Jaguarcat

Didn’t see Enchanted Dragon Crown Package, is it still available now?
- Suan
  
  I don’t see it either.
HadesClutch

Where’s my Kurzick’s Armor?!
Czan

Ritualist outfit = no Cantha.
And mounts are soo fcking bad, they don’t have any good reason to be here, they have no story, nothing, they look like somebody took them out of community mods, cuz they are only becouse ppl wanted MOUNTS, ffs. I won’t even comment how the fck they look.

  I know a chinese mobile game that auction a single mount for $60.000 only to get 50% move speed increase with no special animation
