Guild Wars 2

Was just thinking about legendaries for some of char’s are was thinking, since none of them really fit for most of my char’s, what if they could have the different effects/themes for the weapons, but for each weapon type, it wouldn’t be as difficult as implementing a completely new legendary since it would be reusing assets. Just to give more legendary variety/choices.

Like for example, you could take Bolt, and make a weapon each each weapon type that has a “lightning theme”.

Bow’s would shoot either lightning bolt projectiles or just have lightning arrow trails + lightning aura/footfalls etc, would just need to create a new Bow model really.

Staff would give lightning projectiles or trails, and aura/footfall.

Dusk could have a staff/bow/sword/etc/etc equivalent with the whole dark theme.

Bifrost would have a whole weapon set for rainbow themes.

Etc..

Would be really really nice to have those options, right now I can’t really think of any current legendaries I’d want that really fit my char’s.

Or at the very least keep making mini-legendaries, especially staves, lacking so many good staff skins. =[ A lightning-based staff would be nice.

I like that idea, but it sounds like a lot of work.
IMO just get an Ascended weapon. they have a universal look to them that works with any style.

I agree that staffs lack good skins. It’s pretty disappointing considering how much creative freedom a very long stick provides. We’ve got about a handful of decent skins whereas other weapons have a plethora of amazing skins.

That would be good, I want to use my bifrost with a necromancer theme…
No skin change is needed, just add an extra blackish color template to choose and some more aura options like lightning, blue glow aurora, greenish toxic cloud etc. So I would be able to combine green toxic cloud with black color etc. for my preference.
This system will work just like stat selection window of legendary weapons. You will select a color template and an effect template, that’s it.
At least they have to give us an opportunity to exchange our legendary weapon for the same type legendary for once when new ones come out. For example Staff for Staff Gs for Gs etc..

Might be neat but I’m not giving up my twilight I will just save up and make the new gs lol

Edit: also idk about you guys but I am obsessed with halloween so I would love to be able to put Lime green and orange affects in twilight rather than the red I kinda like the blue and purple at the right angles in it but idk just more options for color maybe I’d like to have black and lime green some people might want black and yellow
