… may be the first try of them making legendary armor:
Think about the effects – this is the first armor with such an effect not only glowing but beeing more like sunrise/twilight and eternity with the (sry for describing it a little bit odd) glowing dust around it.

What do you think?

I had actually thought of that being a possibility, but it isn’t impressive enough for that. A better legendary armor would be both select a stat, AND select-a-skin via drop down menus, and include any piece of gear, past, future, present, gem store, dungeon, cultural, and even a few unique-to-legendary things like you described. This way you grind it once for your character, and you’re set for life. And it would make doing the grind for what amounts to 6 legendary weapons well worth the time for armor skin fanatics like myself who also enjoy having flexibilty in stats too.

As to the full, original point: They also failed a little on that point because of the solid bits of the zodiac armor. Anything done up as the legendary GS’s should have no solid surface imo, and ornamentation should be done via particle effects and glows. Naked character model with skin set to appropriate background, as zodiac armor, as sunrise/twilight/eternity, but extra bits beyond the skin be portrayed as then often triangular bits on children’s drawings of the sun…just better.

**Glows, halos, clouds, other aura type effects
