Guild Wars 2

Ill try to guess, what kind of legendaries might be coming regarding the ones that are already there.

Greatsword
After The Twilight/Sunrise/Eternity trio we will probably get something less clean, more dirty, maybe tied to an element. I guess it will be a single, less flashy legendary this time but nonetheless an iconic one since Greatswords are something a lot of players use. A non-symmetric more scimitar like weapon that will probably be tied with fire since that would easily fit a lot of the armor in GW2. Something, magitechy, light-saber like with a cool sound effect is imaginable.

Staff
The other two handed weapon besides the GS that can be used by 4 classes. Probably the next double legendary. Having two opposites that combine into one.
I could come up with following opposites: ice&fire, Tech&Nature, Life&Death, Wisdom&Impuls, different opposing emotions. Since I think that the legendary GS will have a fire theme and a “tech staff” would probably not be very liked amongst the caster classes, Ill go and guess there will be a tree-like life-staff and a vicious death-staff combining into one that symbolizes the circle of life and death.

One handed sword
Turning bolt into the opposite, Ill go with a broad, black diamond-sword, maybe with fear inducing name leaving a red trail behind screaming whenever it is swung. Connections to cantha anyone? We could have a catana.

One-handed Axe
Something huge, light themed, double edged. golden trail, maybe connections to the dwarves.

Mace
Water-themed mace fits its defensive theme – “The great Dooboo” – a Quaggan theme would be nice.

Shield
Grand, wooden Norn shield with a totem-theme, Maybe an animal head that moves or growls at times.

Hammer
Something stupidly fabulous, with only 2 classes having access, this weapon will probably fit its sPvP-troll theme. How about “The Tooth fairy” a huge shooting star, that sprays glitter wherever it hits.

Rifle
Yet another weapon that will probably be completely deformed. Something less elegant as the predator, more barrels, more colors. How about a wooden Canthan Firework cannon?

Short Bow
This thing will make everything right that was wrong about the dreamer: Magitech with aiming barrels and multiple light going on and off, and a voice similar to the Salvage-o-matic every time you kill an opponent.

Long Bow
the “Eclipse” a bow right from mad king thorns lair, borrowed from the realm of torment, this weapon whispers and its arrows take the form of black ravens.

Pistol
Light revolver – “the punisher” sending out rays of judgement. producing a little light-explosion with every shot fired.

Dagger
“horizon” blue, cosmic dagger, crescent shaped that leaves a trail of tiny stars behind of which some are connected with thin lines.

Focus
“Celestial compass” from gw1 upgraded to the GW2 quality, the geometric forms change shape and color depending of the spell that is cast.

Warhorn
“The gathering” something festive. The Warnhorns appearance changes over the year according to the season fitting Chinese new year, Dragon Bash, Halloween and Christmas.

Torch
“Muse” A flickering brush that paints the colors into the air. (colors are slowly shifting)

Spear
A lightning spear that sends out a ray at the front and rear end.

Trident
A staff with a black hole at the end, that creates an eternal vortex

Speargun
Meh.. Ill go with something techy and compact that launches plasma arrows.

Thats one for every weapon type. Now lets see your ideas and guesses.

eh I’ll add some random ideas
Greatsword
Large sword stuck inside of a stone when critically hitting the stone shatters and reforms.

Staff
a gnarled tree branch coming to a point with a gem affixed to the top, when changing attunements, using virtues, or shatters the staff will react in different ways, such as a burst of light, a shockwave emanating through the ground, or exploding (with your character model possibly and then reforming, thought this could work with the illusionary persona trait)

Sword
an air themed sword having the wisps of air rotate from the tip of the sword and down around the blade onto the hilt making it appear that it is continually cutting through the wind or that the wind is pushing against it.

Axe
a guitar shaped axe, crits cause a fire to erupt from the ground under the target (deals no additional damage) glancing blows cause the guitar to snap?

Pistol
sorry for some reason the picture keeps disappearing you can find it here…http://roosterteeth.com/members/images/image.php?id=670042&uid=168779&sort=modTotal&page=1
might add more later

That look too much like Volcanus.

Good idea. I aggree with the ’’tech’’ not being a popular choice for a Staff. But pls no Death Staff. We already have so much of those : Bloody Prince Staff, Deathwish, Final Rest, Ogre Warstaff, Orrian Staff, Pact Quarterstaff, Sclerite Staff, Scythe Staff Skin, Spire of the Sunless , The Crossing, etc These are all dark/death themes. Fire vs Ice/Water/Air are theme that for some reason are not that present for the staff (even if there is a lot of those for other weapon. A Electric staff with effect similar to bolt would be epic on my Elementalist (ELEMENTALIST we need more elemental theme staff since Necro have all the love right now). Of course, the current legendary staff is more Ele/Mesmer oriented so even if Necro have so many exotic skins, they will probably cry if they don’t have a necro theme Staff lol.

Mace? Most mace are usually use with Meta PvE Warrior or sPvP node protection Guardian. PvE Warrior will want a more darker, flame weapon that fit with GS and Axe like Volcano, Twilight, Titan Vengeance, etc. While sPvP Guardian would indeed want more something blue and water related. Tough choice, but there is more Warrior using Mace than Guardian using Mace in this game.

Hammer

I like these two idea. Some Wolf head moving and emerging of the shield and howling. That’s cool as hell lol. And I agree with the Hammer. BEWARE of the tooth fairy banish hammer in EOTM mouhahaha. But joke aside, there is already some epic looking hammer with Juggernaut, Enthropy, Foefire, Genesis, etc. And with the limited amount of profession that can use these weapons, I don’t think there is a serious theme that need to be filled for the Hammer. A fabulous/shiny/funny theme like the Moot, Bifrost or Dreamer could be appropriate. But don’t go with the Rainbow, i’m sure Anet can be a little bit original than that now. I would take your Idea for the Longbow and use it on the shortbow instead.

Shortbow : I would like them to go more around Hunter/Assassin theme. Dreamer is light and joy, but a lot of Thief and Ranger would like something more darker now i think. Death, Fire, Dark. On my thief I want to kill stuff, not shoot unicorn at them

Pistol : Same as Shortbow. The next legendary need to overcompensate for the first one. Purple joke shooting confetti. You need something darker that feel like a weapon and not a toy.

Focus : There really need to do something good with that one. Not only does the current Focus legendary is really not legendary, but there is VERY limited good option for a focus. There is a lot of theme that need to be explore here. Focus is a popular weapon for Guardian, Elementalist and Necromancer, but there is still very few good option. This weapons really need more love, they can’t mess up the future Focus legendary.

I can agree with this. Focus is also a popular choice for Mesmers, and the good Foci skins seem to fit mesmer a bit too much, such as the Anomoly or Spirit Links.

I personally like the OP’s idea for a legendary focus, however it won’t stop me from making the Minstrel despite its shortcomings, because I would prefer the utility of an ascended quality focus that be have its stats switched, as I use focus for completely different types of builds on Ele, necro and mesmer. I personally think that while not being too flashy or impressive, the Minstrel is a good skin that I wouldn’t mind flaunting, and I’m glad they buffed the music note trail/glow back in September. The idea of a celestial type focus sounds amazing, but I don’t see the point in waiting for weapons that may never be implemented into the game at the expense of crafting a legendary in the near future.

Additionally I think some sort of chakram focus or fan focus could work too.

Just wanted to say this is an excellent idea!

There needs to be a manly bow. The 2 we have now are just girly/flamboyant as hell. Something that doesn’t have a fire detail though.. I’m sick and tired of weapons that have a fire effect. It seems like Anet just grabs a weapon and adds fire to it and calls it a new weapon or charges gems for it. Think outside the box.

Seeing the pattern makes a prognosis easier. A lot of players like fire weapons because its the perfect mix of imaginability and magic. Remember the time everyone and their mother had a CoF Armor and refused to transmute it? Id rather have some variety.
