Hi guys iv been playing guild wars since the first day of head start and have already made my first legendary the howler. Though I love my legendary and am glad I made it I am starting to have some regrets and they are making it very hard to convince myself to go for a second legendary.
With updates legendaries have received some great changes aesthetics and multi-stats which I really like but I can’t help but find an issue with the soulbound nature of a legendary once equipped.
I spent months deciding which legendary to obtain due to knowing it will become soulbound. But as the game naturally progresses and evolves (skill nerfs/ buffs as well as trait changes) my choice has haunted me and any choice regarding future legendaries is near impossible to make.
I am starting to feel like I am locked into a single play style. In a single player rpg this wouldn’t be an issue for me but in the forever changing world of an mmo specs become less viable or unliked all the time and other playstyles preferred. But I feel as I cant experiment due to my legendary if I choose to change weapon I have to simply leave my legendary in the bank to not be used, a great disappointment to such a big in game milestone and months of hard work and dedication.
I would like to see legendaries made account bound for this reason so I can use them on alts where I prefer the weapon set at the time due to spec changes. From day one I have always loved the build diversity and play your way style of guild wars 2 and I am starting to feel backed into a corner on how I can play my character due to the soulbind nature of a legendary.
I would love to hear the communities response on this topic as well as the devs as in my eyes its a huge issue because it takes away from the game experience greatly for me personally.
