Guild Wars 2

Alright, here is my question: will legendary first stats remain if I transmute it to get better ‘exotic level’ stats?

I explain, if I transmute my legendary ‘the dreamer’ (179 Power , 128 Toughness, 128 Vitality) to get the stats from a exotic berserker’s weapon (179 Power 128 Precision 9% Critical Damage), and now the legendary weapon has the exotic stats, but the legendary skin and is still a legendary rarity.

So now my question is if ANET ever raise the basic legendary stats. So that instead of ‘the dreamer’ having (179 Power , 128 Toughness, 128 Vitality), let’s say they have (~pure example~) ( 189 Power, 136 Toughness, 136 Vitality ), will my legendary stats stay at ‘exotic level’ or will they go back to the new basic legendary stats.

Step-by-step explanation :
2 weapons used : The Dreamer (179 Power , 128 Toughness, 128 Vitality)
Berserker’s Shortbow (179 Power 128 Precision 9% Critical Damage)

1 – )Transmute The Dreamer skin and rarity to the Berserker’s shortbow
results : 1 weapon The Dreamer (179 Power 128 Precision 9% Critical Damage)
2 – ) Now let’s say ANET raise the legendary base stats to ( 189 Power, 136 Toughness, 136 Vitality )
3 – ) The Dreamer stats will be ??? <- that is my question in shot

Thanks alot I’d realy apreciate if a moderator or game manager could confirm this for me, because I’d enjoy transmuting my legendary skin to another ‘exotic level’ stats weapon.

I can add picture if needed.

3. You transmuted it…stats are what they are.

Q – Why would they change?

By transmuting the item…you choose what it’s stats are for life. I don’t even remember anywhere Anet saying that if the level increases…or however you wanna put it…that the current item you own would increase.

I hope it doesn’t. A retro active increase seems …. well….dumb

So following your explanation, I’d be better not to transmute it at all in case they raise the legendary stats, I guess that answer my question. Thanks, I guess ^^.

Still if a mod could answer or confirm this, simply because I’d like to have a berserker’s stats on my dreamer, but if it is to ruin my future legendary’s stats, I won’t.

Id say it would be better to know if said legendary really will get it’s stats increased if and when they raise the bar…right?

As far as I have read…nothing clear has been said about it.

Alright, thanks a lot for taking time to answer me I realy do apreciate it ^^. I will wait for further explanation from the game manager or a moderator. Thanks again.

even if they stay the same, just transmute it with an ascended weapon of your choice when they become available. I guarantee you it will cost less than a new legendary.

Anet has said that legendary items will always be the best, therefore if they add in items with better than current legendary stats the legendaries will get a stat boost to remain at the top

They never said that the current legendaries would get a stat boost that I know of. That’s the debate from the masses. Which is my point

Actually, they did. It’s a debate from the masses that caused a response from the…erm… forgot her name, kitten The girl that used to be the lead of something then became one of the designers. It’s somewhere on the forums or you can just look it up on google search. It has been confirmed that Legendary weapons WILL be raised.

There was even an error in a patch where the Legendary weapons were actually raised to Ascended stats by mistake (mistake b/c ascended weapons were not out yet).

ahhh…well that’s, nice to know. Or not. But at least I know. Wonder what will really happen though
