I was testing out a Me/R using bow as primary weapon and I noticed that when I used "Read the Wind" preparation, my mesmer would put her hands on her hips and shake her head after I casted it.
Kinda hilarious, it was like she was telling me not to screw around with her build. Anyway, you guys try it, I kid you not.

there is something odd about that combo. My Me/R would wave her hand back as waving off a bug or servant after doing a paticular bow shot. I can't remeber what the shot was, though. Hmmm, there is something very odd about this.

I gotta try some more Me/R bow combos. There seems to be all sorts of hidden emotes in the actions.

It's not a joke, it's a bug.

I've recently noticed this too; my ranger doing some weird emote-like motion after a preparation. I know i've never seen it before. Very odd.

The only other time I recall something like this was a long time ago in random arena. I was using a war and killing some necro, then suddenly my char kept doing some emote instead of attacking the guy, and I know I sure as hell was not typing in /something while fighting in random.

Whatever it is, I hope they don't fix it. I think it is rather cute. Besides, adds a little flavor to the game. When I get back to her, (finishing two chars at the moment)I will be keeping my eyes open for more tricks.

Its a bug. When I use a ranger preparation on my W/R, and then target-attack something, I slide-move into range, with my characters hands on her hips and shaking her head as if saying no.

i love making my me/r fly across the screen when using some preps and then attacking a far off target. its hilarious to me how he flies above the ground in a perfect iron cross.

When I do traps on some of the PvP Rangers I've made, they do the /no emote after laying the trap. I have also seen it on another PvP Ranger in one of the teams I was in. It's weird, but pretty cool :P

Wow, I actually went to test that, and it's ture.

After Read The Wind, she puts her hand on her hips and shakes head. (Meaning the build you currently have stinks)

It's a buggggggg, male rangers trapping with an ae & an icon [don't ask, friend was being silly] will also do the /no emote on completion of the skill.

Dam watching a female mesmer using a bow looks kickass. Get poison arrow with conjure phantasm with storm chaser and clumsiness and kite to your heart's content!

I've noticed alot of ranger bugs lately. For instance, running past them and they fall down like dominoes. Makes you wonder.

I was questing with a guildys Ranger. He did the same things as desribed in the OP whenever he attempted to lay a trap while holding a sword.

This bug has been there for a while. On my R/Me and my W/R, any time I use a preparation or plant a trap while carrying something other than a bow the /no animation is activated.

I personally love the charr ranger types doing preps. They literally have a seizure.
