Norn flavored e-spec
That’s kinda cool! And my Rev is Norn because they have an affinity with the mists….just sorta fits!
Wow! I was also thinking of an e-spec based around the Owl spirit – I’m glad someone else was thinking the same!! I’d really like for it to happen because like Kalla, it’s a part of pre-GW2 lore that hasn’t been explored all that well and could give Anet the opportunity to. I was thinking main hand axe (duel wielding axes just screams Norn for me) and a more escape (swiftness, quickness, stun breaks) and sharing with allies and protecting allies because Owl’s deeds to help the Norn in the exodus would have been what echoed in the mist for the revenant to call upon. I won’t derail this post any further.
Well, my decision were based on the sentence that I found on the wiki :
Owl represents family and hearth, giving teachings of taking care of one’s children as well as being a keen hunter.
and what owl really are.
The feeling tried to achieve is kinda that of a mother that can hyde it’s child, soothe them, protect them but still have a dangerous aspect that prevent foes to jump at it unprepared.
Yes make the rangers mad lol.
I’d play this spec maybe if it had Condi removal, stealth, power damage support, evades and cheap to use utility.
I expect a Legendary Norn to show up soon enough.
Probably Jora or Aesgir. Maybe they’ll allow channeling such skills as transformation Functions with unique weapon skills per form.
This would be awesome. The utils would be amazing on their own but adding owl form would be even cooler
revenant – Hoogles Von Boogles
Mesmer – hoogelz
They’re not likely to do another summoning heavy legend so shapeshifting seems like the obvious alternative for a Norn and their spirits.
I like it.
Though I would expect heavy opposition from Norn players of every other profession. No-one likes it when some other group gets to do something cool better than they can.
