As the title states, Legendary weapons can and should affect more skills in the game. Shadowsteps seem like the biggest missed opportunity for legendary weapons to shine.

What I have in mind is for shadowsteps to leave a trail of the legendary effect for just an instant.

For example, Having Bolt equipped should leave behind a trail of lighting for an instant. I wanted to find an example to show everyone, but the best I could find is Sasuke’s fight with Kinshiki in the Boruto movie.

15 seconds to 30 seconds is what I have in mind.

But it would be great for all the legendary effects to have an effect. A trail on the sword 3 skill for revenant would also look really good since it makes the rev shadowstep from target to target quickly.

But imagine a fire trail from incinerator, or a streak of the sky from astralaria, Twilight or sunrise. It would be cool and I don’t think it would add to much visual clutter since it will appear for only an instant.

My inspiration for this was because I played Mirage this weekend. It has a lot of shadowstep skills.

yes, add more particle effects for computers to crash, let’s see the legendary enemies be attacked by high-end computer owners only…..

Technology grows every day, it’s your problem if you can’t or don’t want to keep up.
Why should people renounce to new and better functions only to allow others to continue playing with their crappy pc?

Define “Crappy” please.
i have a 1000$ computer and it still lags when in large boss fights because of the all the particle effects.

The pvp community reminds me of what Obi-kittenenobi describes Mos Eisley as from star wars.

While I think this would be cool (especially if the HoT legendary effects don’t get truncated compared to vanilla ones as they do during normal running), I predict PvP Thieves reaaaaalllly not wanting a big glowing line pointing out where they went. Especially on skills that bounce them between two points. Big neon sign saying “drop aoe HERE” is probably a nope for them.

Because there aren’t enough of you with high end computers to even possibly keep GW2 and Arenanet afloat.
And to be frank, I stopped reading the OP suggestion when he brought up naruto characters. Ugh.
