Guild Wars 2

Hey guys. I heard they will be upgrading legendary stats to ascended stats in the future , and fixing the legendary -> exotic color when transmuting as well.

But is it safe to transmute The Predator (legendary rifle) to the stats of a Berserker Exotic rifle for the stats? Will my legendary still be affected by the update and “restored”?

I really want to use The Predator but my build uses rifle with Berserker stats instead of Soldier. So I’m wondering if it will be a mistake to transmute it now instead of waiting until the update? Or am I safe to do so?

Thanks!

I’d wait. You might be shooting yourself in the foot. (Pun intended.)

So what about all the people who transmuted their legendaries to use berserker stats? They wont be reverted back to legendary?

No they’ll have to salvage and build new ones.

Oh, I’m sure Anet will remedy the situation somehow. However, I always wonder about their timetables. It might now be immediate, you know? With something as large of an investment as a legendary, it’s best to play it safe imo.

I think so, too. Transmuted items turn into a completly new item, I doubt it would be easy for the game to identify and restore them.

It’s pretty easy task. Each skin has some kind of ID. Each legendary skin also has ID. So ANet can just add exception for all legendary skins to keep their legendary rarity even after transmutation.
