Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone I am at a loss and could use some opinions. Its been since beta and finally a precursor dropped. I am now just 1 Gift of Exploration from making The Dreamer. The issue is, while I really want it for my Thief, with the upcoming patch that’s the only character I have that can use it seeing as I don’t have a ranger.

I was considering making it, selling it, and then using the gold from the sale and what I have on my person to buy Twilight, since I have a Warrior, Guardian and Mesmer that would get use out of it.

I THF WvW the majority of my time playing, but when it comes to anything PvE related I find myself falling back on the warrior since you know…its easy(er). Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks.

It’s much easier to get ascended weapons so if you don’t really want the legendary just craft it, sell it and get an ascended weapons. Ascended weapons will cost between 40 up to 100g depending on prices of things in the TP. You can get them from certain world bosses via weapon chests and a few other areas, crafting is probably the easiest since it’s not RNG dependent. All you’ll really benefit from a legendary is a more unique look and the ability to change its stats but past that ascended stats are just as good and far easier to obtain.

The updates coming on the 15th will make them tradeable so instead of spending 2000-3000g on a legendary you could invest a bit of time and up to 100g depending on how many mats you have or have to buy and in the end you’ll have a lot of gold for other things. With that much gold you could easily trade gold for gems and get more bank slots, more bag slots, a variety of the 20 slot bags/packs/boxes with different purposes etc etc.

It mostly depends of your attempts.

Do you want to play the most played and unchallenging classe of this game (Warrior) with a legendary you see almost once per minute in crowded zones, or your want to make yoloswag unicorns with your thief to kitten your enemies off ?

^ This! I have the dreamer for my thief and it’s awesome
Don’t exchange the dreamer for a gs. But bear in mind that legendary prices will increase next patch, so you may get 3k gold if you sell it

Get what you like, not what you use (assuming you use the one you like at all, of course). If the Dreamer is your favourite, get it. If you prefer a Greatsword, get that. If the Spear is your favourite, get that. It’s not really an issue. Ultimately, you can just get several.

Off topic, but honestly, I find Thief a lot easier for PvE. You have blind spam, pistol whip, weakness and the possibility to trait for Feline Grace while learning the ropes.

Just make your favorite character the Legendary you like the most for that character.
Who knows~ maybe one day they’ll add shortbow to more classes. That bow personally scares me though. ;s For me it was a win/win making Legendary Incinerator for my Thief (a year+ ago) since it was the only one I liked for the class and now my Ele, Necro, and Ranger can use it. ;o

Now if Kudzu was a Shortbow I’d make it regardless of my alts (don’t use shortbow on Ranger) since I actually like that one. So just make the one you like most for main.

Currently sitting on legendary mats waiting for new Legendarys to be added for my Thief.

Make a legendary for the class you play the most. If it’s thief, then make the Dreamer (or Incinerator). If it’s Warrior, Guardian and Mesmer equally, then make Twilight. Easy decision. The one you play the most, will be the one you look at the most.

It’s not a choice anyone can make for you, just decide what’s the most important to you:
- The looks, which you seem to want on your Thief.
- People seeing you own a Legendary, which means you’ll want Twillight to get it out of your storage whenever you play Warrior, Guardian or Mesmer.
If it’s none of these, I’d suggest selling it and using the money to get all your toons something nice, whether it’s Ascended for the stats or another skin you like.
