Guild Wars 2

This has probably been answered but i couldnt find the thread, i was just wondering how legendary transmution works. Does it still retain its legendary status? For example the character i am crafting twilight for is an offtank guardian, so i want power precision toughness in my greatsword. So i cant use twilights stats, so what happens if i transmute it with th current “knight” exotic gs?

no, transmuting legendaries will downgrade them to the item which delivers the stats. it also wont work for eternity anymore and most likely wont be upgraded to ascended tier stats anymore either.

Ironically because people value their colored text over having good stats, a lot of Twilight, Sunrise, and Eternity wielders are kittening themselves with vit/tough/power weapons, when a tanky weapon is the opposite intention of the greatsword (at least on warrior and guardian, my ranger is level 2 so I haven’t looked at the skills there).

That’s odd how you’re stuck with the crappy stats.

Are you kidding? Power Vit Toughness is perfect.

power vit toughess will be great for my guardian, thanks guys

Before they said they would change the way legendaries transmute so that when transmuting it to exotic stats, it would remain a legendary (purple name). I am assuming this idea still exists and eventually, legendaries transmuted to exotics will remain with purple names and ascend the exotic stats.

Best possible stat combo by far for both warrior and guardian (that is if you dont want to die in 2 hits).

So you can’t do it? I thought about doing it to a precursor so I could have the right stats.

Umm, I use knights gear on my warrior Power/Prec/Tough and remain tanky enough to live through kitten near anything while putting out enough damage to stay close to glass cannons, also guardians are ment to tank aggro system is Proximity>shield>crits, power prec tough gear gives my guardian 50% crit, 3600 armor, while useing mace/shield i dont think i’ve ever lost aggro while with an intelligent group, or died for that matter.

u can use the stats u want with every other exotic u know.. and if u buy the god kitten most expensive weapons in the game Anet tells u which stats u HAVE to use on them wtf is this ? cant Anet just make an NPC where u can change the stats of the weapon for some small fee or even 1 time only change would be enough

sry for bad english but in the german forums no one from anet read what we write there :P

They are the optimal dungeon DPS stats. I’m a thief and would die for power/vit/toughness gear for dungeons and just switch back to berzerker and some knight’s jewlery for WvW.
