Guild Wars 2

I know it has been said before but I cant find it where. I like Bifrost, dont get my wrong, I like rainbows and colors overall, but I play Sylvari, thematically speaking, I feel like plants go better with my character than a rainbow would. I also know Legendaries are only skins which add nothing to the game other than an Aura and Steps (with some skill changes)

Why cant we be able to apply said skin; the Step and aura to all weapons? I want to be able to have a staff and walk like some Life Wizard where when I step plants grow instead of rainbows.

I find it weird that you havent implemented this, after all this is just visuals, no balance behind it. I know from a designer point of view there is more (coding and such) but Im pretty sure it cant be THAT hard, heck if I have to pay some SMALL fee for it ($$) I would do it!

I dont want to play a ranger for that awesome skin, I like Elementalists and REFUSE to play anything else. Please ArenaNet.

Then you would have people with Juggernaut daggers and Sunrise scepters and whatnot.

If any class could get any legendary skin on any weapon, it would just become a “style”, not a unique item.

and thats bad how?

Getting said…“style” is still hard to do, making it quite unique, you will be spending just as much effort,heck, you might even see more people actually fighting for said resources, Anet could get some extra boost ($$). The way I see it, everyone win…..its like not implementing dueling; its optional and it does more good than wrong, more like i cant even see the wrong anywhere.

I actually quite agree with the idea presented in this thread. I think Legendary should have been made as an overlay effect you apply to your character, and not attached to a weapon.

But they already did it the bad way, and changing it will most likely kitten off a large number of players who already own a legendary or is working towards one.
