Guild Wars 2

What is it supposed to be? Is it like a crying eye? Reminds me of the Sheikah crest, but I don’t think that’s it

I think it’s the eye revenants use to see in to the mists, considering they use blindfolds making their other eyes a bit useless.

I’d kind of like to to be a bit more bouncy, if you know what I mean. It seems like a very serious icon.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

It’s supposed to resemble a ‘third eye’, kind of like enlightenment, for revenant’s ability to to use these powers learned from historic legendary beings in the mists.

That explains it Thanks Roy!
It just kept bugging me cause I could tell what all the other icons were but this one.

I’ll be honest though, it looks like a man on a hang-glider :S

i always thought it had to do something with this:

Illuminati confirmed in GW2.

It looks more like an arrow than an eye to me :P

I’m sorry, I had to.

this makes sense. Actually ritualists had a similar icon if I’m not wrong.

Well, it also looks like an eye that bleeds out blood for using weird power. The color scheme is pretty gloomy =x

Halan.7931:

It’s an eye inside a pair of compasses. Conspiracy!

Glintuminati confirmed! :-D

Elementalist specialization for revenant confirmed !

Eyes? What eyes? There’s no eyes.

The revenant icon is clearly someone showing off their new giant boomerang, holding it with both hands.

Uhm, from that hi-res picture it seems a man coming out from a rift (or going in).

I see a couple things…
1) A closed scared eye
2) A person in praise, standing in the horizon.

This such a powerful image that is very fitting to this class. It’s like, on the surface you see a blind, weaken, and scarred warrior, but in depth there this enlightened, cleric, being used as a medium.

I don’t usually critique art, but I really like how the triangle covers the head give the impression that either the head is covered (hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil) or the just he head is covered with a hat, which means a lot from a spiritual standpoint. Also the fact that it looks like a man standing with his head covered, arms out in praise, in front of a mountain and the horizon (triangle, triangle, triangle) shows just how attuned and aligned he is from a spiritual standpoint.

I feel they did a great job merging the ideas of the ritualist, dervish, paragon, and assassin together in this profession. Where he basic game covers the 1st guild wars main professions, the revenant covers the guild wars expansions classes.

I really like the idea of the man coming out of the rift. The fact that this pic has so many interpretations speaks volumes of how great it is!

Thanks, cannot unsee.

It looks to me more like a bleeding eye. I like it!

Vennyhedgie.5369:

What is it supposed to be?

2 tightly pursed lips fixing to suck a tiny…..ummm. It’s two pursed lips drooling yea, that’s it, its two lips with some spittle.

Look at it again on the professions page, I know I’m not the only person seeing it that way.

Also to the Devs, if it’s what you say it is, then the eye would be clear of “obstructions”. As it is a sight that sees all. Typically adornments of various types are “around” the eye depending on version you look at.

Uhm I think I’ll stick with my interpretation of a man coming out of a rift. I can clearly see 2 arms in the hi-res version.

it look like a snake (forgotten ones) opening a rift.

It looks like a toad mouth with its tongue out.

Sorry that’s what I see.

I see a crucified Pyramid Head being eaten by Azathoth.

Coolest icon.
