Guild Wars 2

Quick question: I’m currently sPvP rank (level?) 63 and I’d like to earn the phoenix (70) and dragon (80?) rank finishers, will they be earnable after HoT launches on the 23rd or will they become unavailable legacy finishers?
I guess I’m trying to figure out whether or not I should grind like a madman before HoT or can I just keep playing at my current more relaxed pace.

They will be, dont worry

Nothing will change about the way you unlock the “core” rank finishers with HoT. They don’t get replaced by the new ones.
Instead, each new rank tier will unlock a reward track to unlock the HoT finishers.

So in your case: If HoT would be released today you would unlock the first 6 reward tracks for the new finishers and once you get to rank 70 you will get the phoenix finisher and the reward track for the “jungle phoenix”.

Thank you very much for the information! <3
