All I can say is that they allow sooooo much more freedom in builds!
You start by casting Meteor Shower on Scythe of Torment's, quickly go into Raven Blessing and spread conditions/damage onto a mob, warp out of RB with all your skills recharged and energy to the max, rinse and repeat.

Honestly, I can really see the "tactical" use in the new norn blessing. It just feels like there is a lot more freedom in builds

Agreed. Now they can be used for what I think ANet originally made them for. Looks like it's time to change your avatar.

Anybody who whines about the nerf has no reason to anyway. The nerf was coming, either way.

Any ideas?
I guess a raven with a spear, shouting "Save yourselves!"?

So, with the new tactical use of the blessings, anyone have some good build ideas to make great use of them while still using "normal" skills?

Who needs tactical use when you've got near-unlimited Ursan?

LOL Oath-shot. Is [skill]Assassin's Promise[/skill] so hard to use? Wait, yes...

Barring that kind of exploit, yes the skills are more fun to use... but in the end, more worthless. To gain the blessing benefits, you're going to be using a build with no elite half the time. Unless you're in an attribute with junk elites (yeah there are some), thats a huge sacrifice, and generally not worth even Ursan's power.

The Raven Blessing nuker is about as good as it gets, my guild has been using a Raven nuker for ages in DoA and it sped things up tremendously. Other than that I don't think the norn blessings synergize particularly well with anything else. But hey, my main is a monk, so I was pretty unaffected by the changes except that DoA and FoW take longer to clear...

How long did DoA take with a Raven Nuker?
