A Viking Rework that focuses on giving more talent choices and options to build. Go Tanky, Damage or push with different builds.
Biggest Changes:
- Vikings start with QWE (values nerfed accordingly).
- Trait now also reduces respawn time very slightly.
- All new talents and Quest talents.
- Removed stun if Longboat is destroyed. Lowered damage by 30% to compensate.
- Viking HP and Attack Damage reduced by 10%.
- Level 20 upgrade for Play Again! is not as clumsy.

I think the trait changes sounds neat, but 0.1 seconds per regen globes is too weak. It should be 0.3 or 0.4 seconds per globe. (Since you will probably have around 60-80 globes in the late game = 6-8 seconds earlier respawn)
