Guild Wars 2

So they are upping the Legendary weapons to the new highest tier or gear (the Ascended level) and will continue to up them in the event of new tiers.

Kewl and all.

My question is, Legendary’s start with (in most cases) non-ideal stat allocation for alot of builds (power / tough / vit). So people tended to transmute them onto exotic’s with actual useful stats for thier builds. Fair game and all. Will these new beefed up weapons keep the new stat allocation or revert to thier base stat allocation? Since there are no base weapons (Ascended weapons) with those base stats on currently?

Does this make crafting a new legendary a waste of time until we get the new Ascended tier of weapons? (Unless your one of the lucky few who likes the base stat allocation) since you would’ent be able to transmute for the improved tiers stats? (Your only option would be to transmute to exotic level and wait for the new ascended tier weapons to hit)

I’m assuming that new forged legandarys will be of the new tier, but like i say you’d have to either suffer pow/vit/tough stat allocation or drop the base weapon dmg back down to exotic level to get decent stat allocation.

I am just curious if the legendary weapons will up grade to whatever the next level of gear they bring out. If I go ahead and work for a legendary, will it always scale up to whatever the newest tier in the treadmill.. er, I mean “gear progression” is?
