Well, a long time has passed and legendaries are still the same as exotics, and what happens if ascendant weapons come?, same stats as ascendant weapons?, meaning Legendaries will only be a skin and a “auto buffable” weapon when a new type comes?, where is the legendaries will be always the top gear of the slot?
And please do not merge this into another topic (like my “Legendary Achievment” topic) just because it says “Legendary” in the Title, it becomes impossible to find what i want with all pushed inside 1 unique topic full of replies that are out of order and such.
Yes “Legendary” weapons will always be best in slot.
When a new tier is introduced (weapon wise), “Legendary” weapons will be upgraded to that new tier automatically. As of right now, Exotic weapons are the highest tier. When Ascended weapons are introduced, “Legendary” weapons will be automatically upgraded to Ascended status.
GW2 is trying it’s best to avoid gear based progression, though allowing a little for longevity (through agony).
But mostly it’s trying to avoid a gear based power creep and advantage.
Legendary weapons should absolutely retain the same state as Exotics, otherwise you make them an advantage that’s not necessary.
The beautiful look of the legendary along with the steep requirements make it an achievement for those who want to pursue it.
It’s a choice, not a competitive requirement.
Not sure where you’ve been, but Anet has already added, and is adding more vertical progression to the game. Ascended is just the start of this.
And they have already stated that “Legendary” weapons will always be BiS and will be upgraded automatically to the newest tier. So in a way, it is a competitive requirement as you so say. It is an auto-upgrading weapon. Meaning you never have to farm for he next tier of weapon cause your “Legendary” will always be upgraded to the newest tier.
