Guild Wars 2

Ahem…

The Weaponsmith, Artificer, and Huntsman crafting disciplines have
a new skill cap of 500. We’re introducing new recipes and new materials to be found around the world! Craft your way to 500 to become a Grandmaster Crafter and to learn the secrets of crafting Ascended weapons!

Okay, so then….

Legendary weapons are getting a stat boost and an Offensive Infusion slot to align with the new Ascended weapons!

Okay…so what about sigils? What if like having some kind of on-crit effect instead of a direct stat boost? Or maybe a kill-stacking on? Or extending a condition duration? Just a sigil in general? Can ascended weapons have both? Or are you completely disregarding that upgrade mechanic and thereby invalidating pretty much every single weapon based build in the game?

I know that, for example, my thief is 100% dependent on sigils of purity for condition removal. Am I now just completely out of luck, screwed over, and having to go right back to square-one with that profession now?

Unknown. Maybe they have 2 slots, maybe we can put sigils and infusions into the Mystic Forge to combine them, etc..

At least according to dulfy, ascended weapons (and legendaries) will have both a sigil slot and an infusion slot.

Assuming the premature and then reverted adjustment to Legendary weapons last year is an accurate reflection of where they’re going, have no fear.
