Guild Wars 2

Since crafting the legendary rifle, the Predator, I can’t help but notice many of its shortcomings. While you do get the neat fire aura and sci-fi sound effects, you get no aura unless the weapon is active. The footstep effects are also the worst of any legendary; tiny fire explosion “donuts” which trail behind your character a whopping five feet. I see others leaving trails 15-20 feet behind their characters. Where’s the love, ArenaNet? This legendary needs a serious overhaul to bring it up to par with other existing legendarys.

but if you type /dance while you have it drawn, you dance on fire lol

What, this legendary has one of the most aggressive/eyesorish… errr -strong/noticeable effects of all, no need to complain there.
The problem with this legendary is that rifle sucks big on warrior and on engineer it doesnt fit the weapon skills and you dont see it most of the time anyway

I generally like the weapon and will build it, however I’d love to see a blunderbuss or shotgun variant for the engineer.
Shooting a sniper rifle from the hip is somewhat inappropriate, indeed.

The animations need to be adjusted for Engineers although it looks great on warriors. The footsteps can be very difficult to see though and could really use some more love.

Try your predator on a Norn, the fire aura is incredible and I think it has the best sound affects and one of the few that does. I think these two things outweigh the short footsteps trail by far. I also don’t think your need to be on fire unless your in attack mode.

These are the exact reason why I made one so I really hope they do not change the effects to be more flashy. I like how it sounds and how the effects behave. Checked lots of videos before making it just to be sure that it really works like that and not like other overly flashy annoying leges. I especially hate the footstep thing on the others.
