Guild Wars 2

and im probably not going to explain this very well, but I was hoping maybe a forum or game mod would be able to answer me on this one.

Im getting close to finishing my first legendary, after spending wayyy too long making it, and I know that all legendarys come out with Power Vitality Toughness stats on them. But id like to be able to do a condition build with my ranger and therefore transmute the bow to be Precision Toughness Condition Damage, and I know that you can transmute using an exotic weapon with a legendary and it will still keep its purple name and legendary status? (i think that was one of the recent patches but its one thing id like confirmed just in case)

But heres my question, if i were to transmute my legendary onto an exotic with the stat im after is that going to stuff me over later on if GW2 decides to implement Ascended weapons and increase legendary base stats? or am I safe to change the stats on it without having to worry about it being crippled later on?

The last time I had read something about this, it was Anet’s stance that any kind of transmuting would change the weapon’s status to exotic from legendary. So if ascended weapons became a thing, yes, your weapon would not increase in stats.
