Guild Wars 2

Yes and no, I think people would be suprised how little benefit legendarys bring.

There is still the issue of:
- weapon sigils not changing
- there usually only being 1 toptier endgame build
- people with legendarys usually have no small amount of ascended. I had 7 full ascended sets done before finishing the legendary light armor. Could have easily used 2-3 of those sets for my now legendary carrying character
- the actual hassle of changing the stats.

My mesmer is running 70% of the time in berserker stats which I will occasionally switch to commanders when I feel like it. That’s it.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Especially with respect to the sigil’s my sole Legendary Incinerator (made last month) has a Sigil of Force in it, until I can pop that out I won’t be bothering changing it all that much.

I can see where you’re coming from alright, my main is a Daredevil, I have 2 full medium ascended sets but I don’t switch builds on my daredevil much; power is best ATM, my ranger is currently using my Viper set and my Necro is using my ascended Viper dagger so there’s not much point in swapping around. I’m tempted to give the legendary to my elementalist, as she’d be able to get some use out of it in WvW at least.

I imagine that with a full legendary set I’d feel much the same. It’d be handiest on a character like an elementalist that you play in a lot of modes, for a (power) thief… well, you’re choosing between marauder and berserker really.

Edit: fixed mangled quote

Since completion of Sopor Titanium is necessary (twice even) starting creation is raw impossible, and i already consider myself above average in jumping puzzles

As others have stated you already have legendary functioning trinkets with bloodstones and you can fill the rest out with berry trinkets from Bitterfrost. We basically get trinkets for free now it’s that easy. I farmed a full set of zerk and vipers in like a week with a couple of alts, and unless the new xpac brings out some superior stat version these will last me indefinitely.

I think the price is too high, but we have very cheap options instead so I am not bothered. If it gives a cool unique aura then that’s going to be why it’s expensive, and 2k then doesn’t seem so bad considering people are paying 4 figures for the Winter aura.

Let’ be real: in the current state you wont craft aurora for the stat swap convinience but for the aura effect only. For a simple stat swapping trinket the price is waaaaay overtuned. but i think there is quit a neat way to give both grps what they want: just make aurora come with a infusion that carries the aura. this way you could use the effect on one character and the trinket on another + you could introduce a vendor or recipe to buy/craft duplicates of this infusion to use it on more than one character. Since this trinket comes at the price of a legendary like ad infinitum which is unlocked in the wardrobe after crafting and can be skinned on any backpack this only seems fair! right?

Let’s be honest, the convenience factor on legendary trinket is overrated.

Pretty much my feelings on Legendaries as a whole in general. I don’t deviate beyond a couple of playstyles so Ascended fits me just fine.
