Theoretically speaking, Elementalists are the best class to get a legendary on. The player would always be able to wield their awesome weapon without ever needing to weapon swap (on land, at least) and the 20 skills available to that legendary weapon will make it feel more fun for a longer period of time than the same weapon would on another class.

Unfortunately, Elementalists have quite possibly the worst legendary pool in the game. The Bifrost? It produces rainbows and basically nothing else. Meteorologus? Horrible. The Minstrel? Does next to nothing. Incinerator? Elementalists don’t even properly proc its effects on their skills.

It’s like their potential for legendary awesomeness was seen and prevented to avoid an overload of kitten.

Been working on an unknown legendary for an unknown class for a while. But really, if the Elementalist could use Greatswords, Hammers, or even a legendary staff that wasn’t silly, my decision would be made for me.

We’ve only seen the first round of legendary skins, we’ll probably see more maybe sometime this year, fingers crossed.

Engineer says hi.

Quip? It shoots confetti. Predator? yeah, a sniper rifle on a class who’s rifle is actually a shotgun. FSP? Pretty decent, but not amazing.

On top of that, our class mechanic is kits which completely cover the legendary, making it even more pointless.

I left the Engineer out of this because their very class mechanic makes getting a legendary a wasted effort on them. The Elementalist is the class that blatantly wants a legendary and just isn’t getting a good one.

Plus, I would trade the Bifrost, Incinerator, Meteorologus, and Minstrel as options for the decent Predator and the beautiful FSP anyday of the week.

Right now Incinerator is the best for an Ele in my opinion. Fits thematically with fire (though the fire is created artifically via a blowtorch), and changes three skills.

However, The Anomaly is the most legendary looking weapon we have access to. It even matches the glow of the final Fractal Capacitor perfectly.

Edit: They could just let us use swords in our main hand. Mage-type classes almost always have access to a sword in games, and it would allow us to use Bolt (Lightning fits thematically).

I would indeed love to have a MH sword as an Ele. That would let me grab a Bolt and pair it with the Anomaly and a Fractal Capacitor for awesomeness.

And, of course, adding MH sword would add 2 more potential weapon sets.

Don’t forget Kraitkin! =P

I’m gonna get one eventually. Just because underwater legendaries are hilarious to me. They say “I’m so loaded, I’m getting underwater legendaries” =P

I didn’t mention that because it’s an underwater legendary. The number of players who enjoy underwater combat is low and the number who would buy an underwater legendary is lower still.

Hey I made Kraitkin and it looks really cool on my ele, I got the precursor from MF and since the selling price was horrible I just made it.

It has a shining green-ish glow at night.
