Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if Anet has said anything of upgrading the current legendaries that currently are just a cool skin. Kraitkin i feel suffers the most from this as do the minstrel and howler.

all legendaries are just “cool skins”, they don’t have any extra damage or power.
Kraitkin is still a nice trident and it has an awesome glow effect (during the night)

I don’t know the effects of the other legendaries.

hoewhoew got this. Legendaries are not meant to be all that superior to other weapons… just cool looking.

what do you feel is missing … underwater footprints?

Didn’t ANet state somewhere that as soon as they release Ascended Weapons they will bump up the damage of Legendaries as well? I always assumed they meant they’ll bump it up to equal the damage of these future ascended weapons, but maybe they’ll make Legendaries even more powerful.

My only guess though is that in order to balance that out, they’ll also have to have full Ascended armor available to restore the armor/weapon dmg balance.

Footprints for the land based legendaries would be nice since not having them makes them far less desirable. Idk I did not know about the glow on the kraitkin that sounds cool and maybe it could leave a glowing trail or something. I just feel like they tried on a bunch of legendaries and then the last couple they got lazy or something.

Kraitkin will be the second legendary I go for…I’m very close now to getting the Predator. Honestly, I think it looks AWESOME. I’m not sure I want them to change it.

Same here, I think it looks awesome. I just finished my FSP and can’t face another Legendary quest right now, but if I ever do another one it will be that one.

I think Howler got an update 2 months ago. Now it gives foggy footprints and the player is coated in fog, leaves a foggy trail.

Yes they did say this. The legendaries will be the same stats as ascended weapons. They also warned about transmuting stats on current legendary weapons.

That said; I love the Kraitkin. So if I can’t ever hope to get the regular versions LB/GS/SB/Axe for my main I’ll go for that one instead.
