Guild Wars 2

I’ve run into a problem twice in recent weeks. When pinging my gear as a group entrance requirement, I’ve taken grief for using a soldier stat (power/toughness/vitality) legendary when I’m supposed to be in a full berserker (power/precision/crit) set. Unfortunately, that’s the only legendary option out there. In effect, the meta says I can’t use legendary skins. After the work that went into the production of the legendary, that feels so wrong. Quite frankly though, I get where they are coming from as skill replaces much of the need for toughness and vitality.

Currently if you transmute a legendary to different stats using an exotic weapon, it is no longer a legendary. It becomes exotic. You lose the ability for your legendary to always stay at top stats when ascended weapons or the next best stat arrives.

My suggestion is simple. Please supply a way to choose the stat type of legendaries while maintaining the legendary status of my weapon. Preferably this would be retroactive to existing legendaries.

I agree. I don’t have a legendary yet, but when I do get one, I want this freedom. +1

I’m 99% sure transmuting a legendary keeps it’s purple name. And as exotic weapons have identical stat numbers, that doesn’t matter either. But I agree with your idea – it would be nice. Transmute crystals get pricey!
