Guild Wars 2

.. Was just being 100% lazy. Every other legendary has some great detail (from either footprints, dazzling effects or leaving trails of rainbows) while the legendary focus “effects” turned out lazy.

Now it’s lazy in 3 ways.

1. The size if it is too small, this is a unique skin to look like a harp yet the scale of it is tiny so you can’t even tell what it is unless you zoom in. A lot of people don’t know this but it resembles a rooster. It has 3 rooster heads on it.

2. The note effect. When sheathed it sprouts magical music notes. Cool huh? Well once again they are TINY and only last a few seconds. This would not really be a problem if they were bigger and activated upon skill use too.

3. Now a lot of people don’t know this but the legendary actually makes sound, yes music. To bad the only way to hear it is you have to turn off all background music and noise and turn your volume up full blast and AGAIN it only works when you sheath it.

All of these effects on the legendary would actually make it… ya know legendary but the shear laziness put into this legendary is appalling. Making the music notes bigger and make the music it does louder and make it activate on the focus skills and there, it’s actually a legendary.

Or how about make a new animation for it. As in when you have it sheathed you hold it across your chest like you are actually going to play it with your MH weapon and when you use a focus skill it plays it and makes music.

My guild leader has The Minstrel, and I agree that it is really disappointing. Along with a few other legendary weapons (meteorlogicus, kraitkin, eternity, etc…), the focus really needs a revamp.
