Q:
Duplicate HoT Legendaries?
Just one from the crafted for each. But you could always craft the other Axe Legendary and reskin it.
ANet may give it to you.
Actually, this is a good question, and one I have as well. Reason being, in the past, via their POI show, as well as their “A Legendary Journey” blog, they specifically have said that, though you can only craft each precursor once, you are still able to get them via normal means. So, are they now backtracking on those statements, or did they make them in such a vague way, meaning that being able to get the precursors by normal ways was meant to be only for the current precursors?
It has even more merit due to the Twice-Told Legend achievement, and those of us that aren’t keen on dual Incinerator Ele or Thief, or dual Quip Engi or Thief. Granted, yes we can make both Quip and H.O.P.E., but I would be SO much more inclined to go for that second H.O.P.E. for my Engi, rather than just swapping the skin.
