Guild Wars 2

Wondering if I can have a bit of feedback on what I should do in my legendary situation. I currently have Gift of Fortune, Gift of mastery and 500g. I never really thought about grinding out a legendary and have acquired this over a long time of “deposit all materials” clicking, dungeons and finally a quick MF visit for my clovers. I have a Engineer (main), Guardian (Alt), Warrior (i grew out of and don’t play) and a mesmer (new and frustrating).

Basically idk what legendary I should make or if I should simply w8 for expansion and see the new ones. None of them jump out at me besides shield legendary but guardian shield apparently still isnt viable (which is SO SAD!), I barely play warrior and I play celestial engi so pistol/shield isnt optimal. I know engi are getting hammer (supposedly but its in the HoT video) and then 3/4 of my classes could use juggernaut but is juggernaut a good legendary do you think? Some people find it too big. I thought about predator but all the engi rifle skills don’t sound like a rifle at all and it doesn’t look like a fit + none of my other toons can use it.

Probably just using this tread to get my thoughts out in the open but i’m also open to some feedback from other people that have been in a similar situation. Also, no GS legendary cause I find it not legendary to have what 3/4 of LA has.

Edit: I pretty much exclusively roam/havoc in WvW or Dungeon in PvE to give you an idea on what weapons I use on my toons

If you are really worried about the new legendaries, just make one and sell it now. IT will most likely drop in value once precursors become obtainable in masteries.

If you’re thinking of making a legendary for your engi, I’d wait till the expansion comes out. Also, it may be best to choose a legendary that’s a common weapon among each/most of your characters.

For me, it was Mesmer (main), followed by Guard/Warr, then Engi, Ele, Ranger, Thief.
I made Eternity first, then went for Bolt and Moot. I’m trying to save for Kamohoali’i Kotaki (shark spear) and possibly Bifrost.

As engi’s are getting hammers in the expansion, I’d wait it out unless you’re intent on having one sometime before then.

I would wait, unless you’re in that have-to-have-it-nows phase. We don’t know how the expansion will affect the current precursor market. I personally think prices will go down as people focus on the new set of legendaries. Or as someone else said, make and sell a legendary now. The Dreamer doesn’t use any super expensive gifts (I’m looking at you, gift of light), and the precursor is moderately priced. I’ve made and sold two of them for 3000 gold (they sell fairly quickly). Do that, and you’ll have plenty saved to either work on a legendary from the new set, or place a buy offer for one from the old set.

Juggernaut is nice and gives you shiny underwear. I’d wait til they officially announce hammer for engineering though. For all we know they’re toying with us and their new weapon is actually a kit that deploys flying turrets ._.

I wouldn’t recommend making a legendary for the sake of it. You kinda sound like you don’t feel really either way about any of the current legendaries.

I think maybe you’d risk being disappointed if you make a legendary now which you don’t adore and you discover that you absolutely love one of the new HoT legendaries. There are a couple of other possibilities too: what if you don’t like hammer engi skills/build? The other new weapons each profession are getting might also affect your decision?

Perhaps you should focus on saving up the materials shared by the legendaries? Start working toward saving up gold for a precursor (in-time) along with Icy Runestones and T6 materials.

One other thing that bothers me slightly is you saying this “Some people find it (The Juggernaut) too big”. Don’t worry about what other people think. This is your legendary and your adventure. Most people I’ve come across don’t really mind about what other people have equipped.

Personally, I think you should go for a legendary that you will use a lot. Imo it doesn’t matter too much if you only use it on your main, as long as you get the use out of it that you desire. I have “shoe-horned” myself into playing with particular weapons (that I don’t enjoy) and it just wasn’t worth it: enjoyment > aesthetics.

Ty for all your responses. Crimson Clouds is right, im basically making a legendary for the sake of it. I now have the choice of either saving everything and buying icy runes too or buying a legendary and selling it for a profit then turning around and buying T6 mats as I see them go for lower from time to time. Never sold a legendary before, is it profitable considering I’d have to buy most of my t6 mats again and they recently have risen in price?
