Guild Wars 2

Right, slogging my way towards eternity, almost at the point where I can start the gold grind.

However, something has been gnawing at me; why are the stats on the legendaries sometimes so radically different from the precursors? For example, the greatsword precursors are dps sword, whereas their legendary counterparts are tanking swords. Wouldn’t it make more sense if the legendary had stats that reflected the precursors?

Also, due to how legendaries work, we cannot change the stats either without losing the “free” upgrade each time a new tier of items comes along, which seems to limit legendaries by stats rather than by looks and screw over people who changed the stats of their legendaries before Fotm was released, any plans to adress this somehow?

all Legendaries use the Pow/Tough/Vit stat.

i dont know why, they just do.

I would prefer to get a legendary token to trade for a legendary with the stats I want…

ex: craft Twilight, instead of getting the GS I would get a token for a Twilight and trade it for the stats I want.
