this one time i was in verdant brink and my flesh golem who i have nicknamed Kevin apparently grabbed a bomb from that one event where ur supposed 2 plant them at the base of jungle tendrils in like the start of the map

and we ran like halfway across the map before i noticed it on his hand and i thought it was some weird graphical bug but then i got attacked by something and he dropped this legitimate actual bomb Item i could interact with on the ground to go fight

i found my screenshots from it

kevin is embracing a life of crime

so i looked it up on the wiki and i think i figured out how/why this happened- the explosive ordnance can be thrown “at the colossal vine, or to an ally to save time.” someone likely accidentally targeted Kevin with the bomb, passing it to him, where he couldn’t use it because. not a player. that is FASCINATING, honestly

It emerged slowly. Unfamiliar and ugly, a heartbeat that wasn’t his. But his body embraced it like an old friend, and suddenly, he felt much more… aware.

I rarely work with gifs, but I’m so very pleased with how this turned out.

GW2’s healing weapons are so funny to me because like sometimes you get something that makes total sense, like a magic staff/scepter that cures your wounds, or a shield that protects and heals you at the same time.

But at the same time you also have some guy slamming his melee quarter staff into the ground so hard that it somehow heals you, mace that somehow makes your healing work better the more you hit your enemies, or (this one is my favorite) guy with magic gun that can do damage but miraculously heals his friends when he shoots them.

In honor of Janthir Wilds being out, I’d like to add “magical spear that heals people when you hit them” to the list
