Guild Wars 2

So i crafted an ascended sword because S/D on a thief was good. It required skill and really wasn’t too easy to play. With the last patch that build is not viable anymore and I am thinking about alternatives. But that’s not the point here. The point is, that once a certain weapon gets useless for a char you can’t use it on another char. You can’t salvage it, sell it or do anything at all. That kitten ascended sword costs a hell of a lot of time and is absolutly useless now.

Same problem will soon be with armor. This game gets more and more frustrating to play.

Agree, you should be allowed to salvage ascended armor/weapons or make them account bound.

I get you may want to salvage it (and I support them adding that ability to the game), but I think you CAN transfer it to another character with the proper steps and transmutation items.

Also, the weapon is not absolutely useless….you just don’t want to run that build any longer since it’s not potentially as good.

Maybe they can at least add an item to allow you to change the stats on it, even if this is a gem store item.

what content do you mostly play? Because in PvE S/P can perma blind everything except bosses and dredge. Its really quite useful.

Non stop nerfing of the meta is killing this game slowly and the pvp devs don’t realize it yet.

Have you tried transmuting the ascended stats to a white item? That usually returns the item to the account bound state. I’ve never done that with an ascended item though.

If I recall, the soul bound/account bound is tied to the stats. So you’d have a shiny weapon with common level damage and stats. That method only works for transferring a skin from one character to another.
