New Legendaries
If you wanted to get something that’s more suited to the thief and you can run a sword/… build you could always get Lord Taeres’ Shadow which has that black smokey aura around it (if that’s what you go for).
In this game of skins, it’s all about personal tastes and a lot of people won’t go for current legendaries, but having said that, no one knows what kind of skins are going to be up for grabs when the new ones are available.

“Obtaining a legendary should be done through legendary feats…
Not luck and credit cards.”
I wouldn’t hold my breath for new legendaries this year. maybe more towards the end of next year. Anet mentioned something about new legendaries by end of this year but in such a short time, do you really think they will have it done? I expect them to first add new weapon sets to classes, then the legendary trinkets like they said, then ascended armor, then the new race, then maybe new legendaries. That way it gives them time to milk the current legendaries for all they are worth before introducing new ones to buy them time again for maybe something like legendary armor.
Am I legendary yet!?

You do realize, pretty much everything you listed aside from legendary trinkets would require more work than adding new legendary skins, right?
You also failed to remember what Anet has been saying since day when. They have TONS of different teams working on different projects all the time, I don’t know why so many people think every Anet employee is only always working on one project at a time.

Aye, They’ve announced numerous times they’ve planned ahead up to two years so far. HOWEVER a project can be added and put on rush (So maybe a team works on it for a month, Then refines it for half a month) or moved up depending on the amount of player demand.
They said something about a legendary scavenger hunt about 8 months ago. So you’re looking at minimum 8 months…. and the scavenger hunt doesn’t seem to be close, so… even more.
I’ve seen ANet at their finest -ahem- getting people all excited and expectant over stuff that’s nothing more than menial… the first instalments of the Living Story were testament to that. New legendary skins have been on the table for a while, but the longer they take to implement them, the more I smell pie-crusts.
So with that in mind, and coining the phrase “once bitten, twice shy”, I take whatever ANet dev’s say at face value only. Until their promises come to fruition and they eventually make good on the hype, they are but words.
From this it’s a good idea to curb your expectations, no matter what it is you seek in the game.

IMO the first legendaries they should make another of are the joke ones. Dreamer, Quip, and Moot. I’m not saying they aren’t any good… but not everyone want to spend that much gold on a joke.

Not sure why you guys are doubting the new legendaries will be out this year… the looking ahead in 2013 blog has been very accurate so far.
- Bi-weekly releases
- Champion boxes
- Dungeon completion changes
- Ascended crafting mats
- Account magic find
- Crafting to 500 (partly)
The only things left in that article not already added are
- Crafting precursors
- New legendaries
- Skill/Trait progression (which is coming on October 15)
2 things left to add (3 including Ascended Armor) and still 4 patches left (2 in November, 2 in December). All this doubt is totally unfounded.

You forgot some:
-2 new fractals
-ascended armor crafting
-spvp reward system
And there is a patch every 2 weeks
Well I did include Ascended Armor, forgot about the spvp rewards and fractals however, where did you get 2 new fractals from? I know there was one of each council candidate but anet specifically said only the winners fractal will be made, where is the 2nd one your talking about?
They mentioned it to make a flame&frost fractal and a aetherblade fractal to.
But yeah, perhaps that will take longer
They also need fire elemental fractal…

Legendaries have never been high on the priority list. ANet will tell you they want to cater to a majority of the player base, and those wielding legendaries shouldn’t be in that group. But sadly, because these (and precursors) can be bought with either real money or in game cash, a lot more of the player base has these than what they realise.
They found time earlier in the year to ‘polish’ existing legendaries, but why they did this instead of working on getting precursors crafted sooner doesn’t make a lot of sense. We’ve been screaming for these for going on a year now and the longer we maintain the voice, the more they keep putting it off. Like I said earlier, what they say and what they do are two very different things.
“Obtaining a legendary should be done through legendary feats…

fractals will be in Nov, which is when I expect we’ll see armor as well. Perhaps Dec.
I am not sure we’ll see new legendaries though.

We are getting new legendaries but they are going to occupy a trinket slot, as per the interview with Colin at PAX
