Guild Wars 2

Hi all, here’s my question about the norn:

I ‘m an American Indian (Or Native American, or Injun, if you’re stuck in the 1800s, but that’s a topic for a different day) in real life. In every game, I usually like to make at least one character that looks like he’s a classic Native American hunter. So, for Guild Wars 2, I made my Norn Ranger as skinny as possible, gave him dark skin, red tattoos, and jet black, straight hair with no beard.

However, looking over my choices of armor, I can’t come up with anything good. Heritage armor is kinda nice since the chest piece has a little crop of feathers on it, but otherwise looks very non-Native American. I kind of like the looks of the HoTW set chest, as it may look nice and show off my tattoos with some gloves, such as those from the Noble set.

Anyway, what do you all think? Has anyone tried something like this with any sort of results that really seem to pop? Thanks

I go for everything nordic so… dunnae. But as a ranger try looking at the cultural sets? The medium armors are all.. animal/fur themed.

Norn’s quite obviously based on nordic/germanic tribes. But making them Native American is very interresting indeed And I see no reason why it shouldn’t work. They both make use of fur/leather etc.

But you asked for advice on what to wear more exactly. Well, there’s a ton of material on the internet, you can use PvP-locker (or Glory, think they renamed it) in Heart of Mists to preview most armors and weapons as well.

tier 3 can work

Tier 3 is awesome most def

I actually think that the hardest part might be the footwear now that I think about it.

Footwear is often ignored in games. The variety is relatively small and skins get reused or rehashed for multiple sets. I would worry that you wouldn’t be able to find a solid moccasin-like pair of shoes and be stuck with white man boots more than I would chest armor choices (which have more variety).

That’s just me personally though.
