Serpent Strike video[edit]
Do we have an official confirmation that Hornet Sting is the skill she uses at the end of the Serpent Strike video? Chriskang 23:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Not that I know of, but it fits the description of the skill that we got to a T.
I'll try to find the post on it.Here it is.--Corsair@Yarrr 23:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)- Still not a full confirmation. Anyway, with this and the Pc Gamer interview, I'm convinced enough. I'll upload the "presumed" animation tomorrow. Chriskang 23:29, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Actually we can be sure of this, because wielding a sword, there's only three skills from it. The first is a chain skill, which doesn't have any parts fitting the description, hornet sting and serpent strike. No utility skills are based on weapons, so we can be sure it's hornet sting.

- The backdoor is the dagger, it would technically have one more skill after it being thrown. Anyway, I'm fairly sure that it was Hornet Sting.--Corsair
@Yarrr 04:20, 16 July 2010 (UTC)- She doesn't actually hit with her sword in the video, she throws a bee. Pretty much a 0% chance that it could be a different skill, tbh. -~=Ϛρѧякγ

- The skill shown in the animation is definitely Hornet Sting. The animation consists of your character summoning one of those bee swarms from GW and you jumping back. I kept falling down from some higher platforms because of this. Note: Don't put auto-attack on this when you're high up. --91.19.115.52 22:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Updated description[edit]
I thought should be mentioned that despite of the word Swiftly it doesn't apply swiftness to the player. It can be seen in the same video at 0:56. 82.131.236.98 14:39, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Arenanet's Humor[edit]
This skill and its followup, "Monarch's Leap", is likely a reference to "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."76.178.154.238 10:28, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Except they did get it backwards, because first you sting like a bee, then you float like a butterfly. Go figure.72.161.125.142 06:32, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
