Guild Wars 2

So with the upcoming Expansion to HoT we should all kinda be aware that they are implementing Legendary armor, and as was mentioned each piece of armor is the average price of 1/6 a legendary weapon as they stand now. Some may argue that 1/6 the price is to low, some say its just right, my opinion falls in the middle. to me it’s more of an I cant argue with it type of deal. However I would LOVE to see them do something that would be an excellent ad-don to legendary armor… think of the wardrobe system, but instead of changing the skin you have a choice at changing the rune out to another desired rune of your choice, so long you have unlocked it for said 1 of 6 pieces of armor. I know some people may disagree with this, but I don’t know about you guys, when i switch out stats (or different ascended armor) it usually has a whole new set of runes to fit the build required for the stat change. I can see them adding this by doing something similar to what it takes to make legendary weapons now, not by obtaining a gift of fortune, but maybe a adaptable rune tablet for example. It may be made with the completion of raids, killing every world boss, finishing every dungeon, or by finishing a fractal 100. I’m sure their are hundreds of ways this can be achieved, but i digress. Please feel free to mention any ideas you guys may have, whether you disagree/agree/ and why. Good luck out there everyone!

Tldr; Adding a rune wardrobe type system to legendary armor.

This again….. We don not need a one set to rule them all. Do this and what would be the point in having exotic or ascended armor? People would not make them any more. And if you have a character that can get a set, you could just use it on other characters of the same armor type, or use that one to make the other 2 armor types needed. They have not done this with the weapons so I can’t see why they would.

The stat swap was never meant to be the swap stats on a whim. It was done way back when legendary weapons where the same stats as exotic and where just weapons with set stats. If you wanted a specific stat you would have to transmute it. ANet felt that if you went to all the trouble, you should be able to select the stat you wanted, and if you at a later date wanted to change stat for what ever reason you could.

It was never meant to be a switch ever 5 minutes, we as players seem to think it should be that way. We are looking at rules as read not as intended. They way to balance the ability to stat swap.on the fly was that we would have to buy new sigils if we wanted the max from it. This way legendary weapons kept there value, but didn’t make them better than an ascended item.

TL;DR. No. It would make it the must have armor. We don’t need must have items, just suggested best items.

this is precisely the purpose of going legendary.

Sadly this. I would maybe scratch my head a little about raids if this was not the case and move on to let people simply have fun in their chosen content like I do with PvP.

I see you don’t understand the concept of a Legendary. It’s meant to show you have “mastered” all aspects of the game. The where never meant to be better than the gear of the same tie. Just more flashy, and something to prove you’ve done it all.

Or simply mastered the TP. On their own they prove nothing.

Raid are for the people who came on the forums saying “QQ the games too easy, and the rewards are not good enough QQ”

That’s the point of raids.

That’s why the new one’s, will be account bound from start to finish. So they will be what ANet intended them to be. A “Look at me! I’ve done it all!”

The point is. If the “Meta” changes and you have legendary gear, unlike other players, who will have to make/buy new gear, all you’ll be required to change are your rune’s and sigils. That is enough of an advantage.
