What is the best weapon in Guild Wars 2?
There is no best weapon or armor
But rather a best class of weapon.
Ascended > Exotic > Rare > Masterwork > Fine > Normal.
As of current I haven’t heard of any ascended weapons so the best weapon is anything that is exotic class.
You may think Twilight is the best because it’s a legendary, but in reality its stats are just the same as a regular exotic greatsword (although i heard that they are going to change it later) and most of the price is from it’s cosmetic features.
lv80 Necromancer, all professional skills unlocked, working on the final norn elite skills.
Do you mean in terms of stats or in terms of looks?
Stat-wise, legendaries and exotics are currently the same, and all are equally good as far as stat budget. Eventually there will be a new tier of gear, Ascended, and when that happens legendaries will be upgraded to match.
Depends what you mean by better than “Twilight”.
When it comes to stats Twilight (and all other legendaries) are far inferior in stats compared to an exotic that fits your spec. Legendaries have generic stats, Pow, Tough, Vit, so the stats only fit a select few players, the rest needs to transmute that legendary skin to an exotic weapon for proper stats (stat points totals are the same for exotics and legendaries).
So by that yes, there are many more weapons much much better than “Twilight”.
If you are refering to the look of “Twilight” and other legendaries, then I guess that depends on taste. Personally I think the legendaries look like crap, but then again I’m not into that type of weapon looks. I prefer clean weapons that look somewhat real, which is easy to find all the way from level 1-80 without even peeking at the legendaries. So that answer the question too, yes, there are plenty of weapons that are better than legendaries.
Twilight is the best weapon, followed by Dawn, then Bifrost.

Kinda sad they named a lame staff Bifrost. It would be more fun naming some form of hammer, axe or sword Bifrost i.e the bridge that leads to the land of the gods. :P

Thanks for a very good answer. I did mean the stats and my main Charather is a Norn Warrior building on Power and vitality (lvl 53). Personaly I like the The looks of shiny weapons with alot of like “Attatchment” to them. But I also like the kinda basic Iron sword model which you will find all the way from lvl 1 to 80. Also I would like some more models for weapons and armor in this game, but there will probably be alot more coming soon I don’t really care that much but I just think it needs a bit more varity cause there are alot of players who really do care alot how their weapon looks.
Yet again thanks for the answer
Always glad to help.
It does seem, giving the circumstances that Twilight is the best weapon for you, since it has both the looks and the stats you want.
Fine transumation stones will solve your issues in the future if you want other stats than the ones on Twilight and still keep the look.
