The Best Guild Wars 2 Mounts
Mounts in Guild Wars 2 completely transform how you navigate the world, providing abilities that allow you to traverse water and reach destinations faster than ever before. From the legendary Griffon to the versatile Skimmer, there is a wide variety of mounts to choose from. Here are some of the best Guild Wars 2 mounts:
The Griffon
The Griffon is the first legendary mount introduced in Guild Wars 2. With its wing-propelled jump and hover ability, it revolutionizes gameplay by granting access to hard-to-reach areas. While the Skyscale, released later, offers better flying ability, the Griffon remains an iconic mount.
The Jackal
The Jackal is a unique mount primarily used in Path of Fire content. Its 'sand portal' skill allows you to blink forward, granting faster access to areas and the ability to dodge attacks. While it lacks the verticality of other mounts, it is incredibly enjoyable to use.
