Guild Wars 2

I was looking at all our utility/weapon skills’ images. Most of them make sense for the skill or at least look like something. WTF is litany of wrath? Looks kind of like a wave with strange lightning. A sideways symbol? Is this one of those Magic Eye pictures, where I need to stare at it for 15 minutes to see the real image pop out?

It looks like a symbol blowing over a shield… still doesn’t make much sense

The symbol itself looks like a variation of the “Symbol of Wrath”

I would interpret the upper “light” part as a representation for healing, but it’s not very intuitive.

I think Rouven may be on to something with the Symbol of Wrath connection. I still contend it is a weak graphic relative to the rest of our images.

Yeah, obviously we need more old men with white beards screaming.

I’ll take a drawing of an old man w/ a beard over lines and the color blue any day.

Ah, umm, you don’t really scream a litany. I don’t think you are supposed to. I’d more envision myself like Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction, reciting a verse while poking enemies with the pointy end of my sword.

“And I will strike down thee, who dost not listen and giveth me the loot freely! For the path to a legendary is beset on all sides by the inequities of RNG and the tyranny of evil grind!”

Or something like that. Sorry getting carried away a little.

For lest not forget there is a helmet that magically let’s beards disappear.

The more I think about it though, the skill being a meditation, I would have liked to see a variation of the “Smite Condition” icon.

Actually if you look at it I’m pretty sure it’s an upside down “Symbol of Faith” from our mace.

You guys are straight sleuths!

You are correct. Makes more sense too!

I wouldn’t say it makes sense… but it certainly is what it is. Looks like the phoned it in on this one.
