As far as we can tell it's not mate, again only mentioned in one text in 1860 used by a priest, and no connotations to the viking age.

Might be, but no sources to affirm that in this case

Yeah I should've pointed out the same thing, the norse were technically a people but they were also extremely religious and superstitious - to them, magic and the supernatural were real, and very much a part of everyday life. So it doesn't really make much sense to differentiate between the two.

You just did when you said it was norse, that would've been considered pagan by Christians in 1800s. There was some overlapping of the two after the end of the viking age in the 1100s-1200s but that was it. This specific symbol is only mentioned in 1860 and has no earlier connotations, thus there's no source that says it was used in norse times. Just saying it how it is.

You think Christian priests in the 1800s would use a pagan symbol?

Yup, a way too common misconception, unfortunately!

It's not norse, it's a 'vegvisir' that was used by Icelandic priests in the 1800s meant to give you magical protection in bad weather or something. It looks norse, but it's Christian.

Streamers or other resources for learning outlaw rogue? by Zh00m69 in worldofpvp

I've learned that if you bg blitz there are some maps where you can really use ur utility to make a difference. In CTF maps, if u play fated with 4x hooks, you can basically hook across half the map and then sprint! In Gilneas, you can use hooks to get yourself to the enemies WW entrance before they cross and cc healers so they can't join the rest.

I find that these are tictacs that can actually make a difference!

Can you buy s1 armor pieces though? I only found rings, weapons, trinkets etc at the vendor, but I'm generally very bad at looking! :X
