Flameseeker Prophecies
Not only are they several topics about this already, but you also spew quite a bit of unfounded drama there.
I’m personally in the process of making the FSP, only missing the T6 stuff, and even though it made me a little sad not seeing more love for the shield, saying it has no skill animation is, well, totally false. In fact, the FSP is the only legendary that has a ‘skill animation’ for almost each skill you can use (sans the shouts).
Yes, it’s only a turning page, but it does so for every skill you use. It has a nice energy vibe surrounding it and it’s generally more graceful than other legendaries.
The only thing that would benefit it is imho an aura, but I’ve come to understand why they thought it was good as it is.
The only thing that bothers me is that they had to improve other, already very ‘in your face’ legendaries with even more kitsch. I’m looking at you Dreamer!

Flameseeker Prophecies one of the worst legendary without skill animation(Twilight/Sunrise/The Dreamer etc) […]
This is however not true. If you use a skill, a page turns emitting light, like it does when you draw Flameseeker. And imo legendaries are not all about effects. Flameseeker has definitly the best skin if it comes to shields and it’s effects are still pretty decent.
(And yes, I own a Flameseeker.)
I’m just wondering: folowing the next patch, is there any land-based legendary weapon left that does not have footfalls, other than the flameseeker prophecies?
Depends on what the minstrel will be like. If that one has some, then no, the FSP will be the only one.
I’m somewhat in the middle with flameseeker and it’s lack of effects. I also own one, but i also wield frostfang in my mainhand, which kinda compensates for the lack of effects from the shield. However, before i had frostfang, i wasn’t too content with the shield.
Even though it has a really nice skin, and a very nice aura effect glowing from the shield and a shiny book that has it’s pages turn. It’s still limited to the shield alone.
Other weapons, including other shields also have an aura or some sort of glowing effect. For example, volcanus and flameseeker prophecies could be said to be on the same level, but volcanus is not a legendary.
The turning page animation doesn’t really show when you’re in combat, too much is going on to even notice that small detail.
I agree that flameseeker is great as is, but imo i think it still misses something. Maybe a footprint or a tiny effect. Let your characters eyes faintly glow in sync when your shield turns a page or something like that. Something that won’t interfere with other mainhand effects and still obvious enough.
Always said that all legendaries should have footprints, since it’s some sort of trademark of a legendary.
