Guild Wars 2

Just rate one or two of the legendary weapons from 1-10 and write Why

Kudzu – 9/10 it looks amazing, golden arrows, small golden glow on bow but TOO MANY FLOWERS

Bolt – 7/10 looks nice but too brown and worst aura, nice trails though

0? I still have a hard time understanding the point of them. Why not make most of the weapons in the game look like them? Why make 99% of gear in the game bland when it could have all looked nice?

ugh well, the short bow shoots unicorns, must be a 10.
Oh, why? Because it makes no sense, so must be teh best!
Sure a lot better than a charrzooka that turns out to shoot like a shotgun, anyway.

Bolt – 7/10 looks nice but too brown and worst aura, nice trails though

Worst aura is no aura. Incinerator 10/10 on empty promises.

Bolt- 5/10 like u said, worst aura, which they probably wont fix lol and they lied to us about changing the foot steps this update! the electricity on bolt should be more compact, active and unpredictable, something like the light catcher back piece ( i think that is the one) but better ofcourse.

Unicorn bow – 10/10 Shoots rainbow unicorns and has big, obvious hoof footprints.
Greatsword – 10/10 Gigantic and fat, cuts huge swaths of glowy arcs, massive footprints.
Juggernaut – 8/10 Awesome armor effect when wielded, worthless when not. Footfall and swing effects could be more noticeable.

Everything else is inferior. If it’s not super flashy and instantly obvious that you’re using a legendary, it’s not well designed. LOL @ ones without any aura, cool projectiles, puny footfalls or wtf even no footfalls (I’m looking at you Minstrel).

Eternity 7/10 – flashy yes but i hate the little gem they added to the hilt of the sword makes it too flashy
The Lyre (thats not the name i just cant remember the name) 5/10 – minimum effects looks kind of boring
Underwater legendarys – 9/10 on looks and effects 1/10 for who the kitten gets an underwater legendary and why did Anet waste their effort on making cool underwater legendarys when alot of the other ones need work

I hate trying to do numerical ratings but I love The Dreamer because it shoots rainbows and unicorns. Yes it’s absurd, it’s so utterly absurd it’s brilliant. You kill people by firing unicorns at them. Whoever came up with that idea I hope they got a free cookie.

I also like Rodgort for kind of similar reasons. Dragons make everything better, it looks cool and also:

The ones I’ve never really understood are actually the greatswords. The blades just look flat and dull to me, like they never quite finished the animation. The only thing I can see they have going for them is being big enough that people are unlikely to miss them.

Down the list for me- I have Howler and many other friends have the other ones

Bifrost – 8/10 Shoots rainbow projectiles, has a small rainbow footfall and has a cool rainbow particle effect, but doesn’t show projectiles on a elemetalist.
Bolt – 6/10 Has cool particle effects, crackling sounds, but has minimal footfall / aura and sometimes bugs out (annoying sound stays).
Dreamer – 10/10 Shoots Unicorn rainbows, even on a spread shot, has a small footfall, doesn’t bug out with an obnoxious sound.
Flameseeker prophecies – 9/10 Is arguably the best shield in the game for a Guardian, cool aura when drawn, pasges turn on skill use (not on shouts / instacast).
Howler – 8/10 nice smokey aura while drawn, nice waterfall effect when drawn from sheath, on warhorn skill use inner circle whitens up as a moon a smokey wolf appears in front of the user and a howl is played, but bugs out sometimes and the howl is played infinitely until weapon is sheathed.
Juggernaut – 10/10 nice metalic effect while drawn, quicksilver footfall, particle quick silver effects on weapon swing.
Kudzu – 9/10 nice golden arrow, flowery footfall, flowery hit effect, but can’t limit footfall (distracting to me sometimes).
Kraitkin – 8/10 one of the nicest underwater tridents (but not my favorite, see Malachidean) complete with some aura and particle effects on skill use, has a day night cycle for some variety, but comparatively the least impressive on effects to other legendaries.
Kamohoali’i Kotaki – 9/10 a simple legendary weapon with a nice subtle blood trait aura, some particle effect on certain skill use (looks like a swarm of ghostly sharks), draw and sheath effects.

I would give 11/10 for jugernaut if he would keep the armor effect when weapon swapped although he could be at the cost of eternity

Meteorlogicus – 8/10
It’s always been my favourite legendary. I love it’s theme and I love the movement of the planets. I also love the new day/night cycle. However, it loses a point for no longer having its glow when sheathed. It loses another point for its footprints, as I like them but I’m not crazy for them.

Sunrise – 9/10
Just so beautiful. I love the footprints, I love the path it leaves when it’s swung, I love the colour scheme. My only dislike is its handle, it’s an icky shade of gold in my opinion.

Twilight and Sunrise 10/10

Moot 10
Meteorologicous 8 (was a 4 with no footsteps)

They are all 0/10. You don’t need a legendary to look cool when you have one of these bad boys. 10/10++

i concur 10/10

What’s the point of a legendary if you can’t show it’s obnoxious effects?

I’m being completely serious. You don’t spend that kind of effort to NOT rub it in people’s faces.

But I got flameseeker prophecies. It’s still shiny so 7/10.

I got that one because I play engineer using pistol/shield, don’t want quip, and I think using a sniper rifle for a shotgun is R-tarted anyway.
