Guild Wars 2

After working for quite sometime, I was able to create my first legendary item. Only to find that it’s not quite as “legendary” as I was hoping. For my particular setup, the base stats of pow/tough/vit do not work as well as an exotic with my preferred stat setup. An exotic I will add, which I can buy off the TP, or obtain in a few days through explorer dungeons. I would very much like an option to transmute the legendary and replace the current statistics with a set currently available on other exotic items while retaining the legendary classification of the weapon. The time investment I put into obtaining this weapon makes not being able to customize without losing its legendary status quite disappointing.

dont transmute it, it might be change in the future. who knows. we’ll see.

such a fail design, i spent so long grinding out to get a legendary weapon and it has the failest stats. Because of ascended weapons i dont want to xmute it in case it doesnt get upgraded anet could at least say something about weather they plan on upgrading legendary weapons even if they have been xmuted?

I’m really surprised by how this currently works. To me it seems more logical to have the highest rarety carry over to the transmuted item. But then perhaps the tech is not there yet. Either way they should really safe guard this in some way. Maybe prevent Legendaries from being transmuted until they have the tech to change the stats.

I vote this is changed, there needs to be some way of changing the stats on legendaries. Not everyone wants to run a Pow, Tuff, Vit build.

Has there ever been word about if this is going to happen?
