Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I am just curious and am wondering are the stats and Sigils for the legendary long bow fix?

+195 Power
+139 Toughness
+139 Vitality
Superior Sigil[s] of Conjuration
Gain a charge when you kill a foe. At 26 charges, you are invulnerable for 5 seconds. (You lose all stacks on down.)

1. Can the stats of Power Toughness Vital be changed to e.g Power Precision Critical?
I thought of transmutating but am unsure if Legendary stats are the same as exotics.

2. Sigil wise, I believe it can be changed right?

Cause when looking at the current Power Toughness Vital, it seems that for my character, using this bow would mean a big decrease on my precision and critical damage. So the value of it seems to be almost worthless in actual combat.

Do enlighten me as I am really curious.

Thanks

1) They are the same.
2) Yes you can.

The sigil seems rather pointless. What are rangers meant to do when their bow gives them 5 seconds of invulnerability? Rush into melee with a sword and exe for 5 seconds and then rush out again and refind their bow?

The stats should not be changed to please your personal optimization. Power, Vitality, an Toughness are useful to most characters in some way even if they are not optimal. This bow is used by other classes as well as rangers.

By warriors, mostly with burning dmg

I don’t mind p/t/v stats, as I have soldier/berserk mix, so I just had to replace some other pieces of gear to balance stats after I made Kudzu. Still, I think we should be able to choose stats on legendary. And yes, you can change sigil.

We need Mystic Forge recipes!

• 1x Legendary
• 1x <xxx> Orichalcum Imbued Inscription
• 1x Bottle of Elonian Wine
• 5x Crystal

SHAZAMM! Zommoros takes your P/T/V Legendary and gives you one with the stat layout you’d want (well, limited to what Inscriptions can be made through crafting that is)

I also like that other Legendary that requires you to swap to it, to get the Sigel bonus. So you’re suppose to run around with it unequiped, then spot the enemy and swap to it on attack. Nice. Glad it looks so good.

You should totally be able to change stats on legendaries, or at least have a few different options to choose from like dungeon weapons.

I second thing, -personally- i love the p/v/t stat set-up, but i know that there are some others that’d much rather have Berserkers or Clerics, or Carrion etc, idk why they should be prevented from using a legendary because of stats.

You can change the stats on it by transmuting. I believe someone already posted somewhere on here that its no longer bugged and won’t read as an Exotic weapon and will still keep the Legendary tag on it if you transmute it and will keep all its special effects and everything. So just find a bow with the stats you want and use a transmutation stone. It used to be bugged for Legendaries if you transmuted and while it would keep the name of it and effect, it would have an orange name and be downgraded to an exotic. They fixed it though and it will keep the Legendary tag now, so you don’t have to worry about losing that if you change the stats.

I really, really like this idea. You should post it in the suggestions subforums, this doesn’t only apply to Rangers.

Thanks everyone for the fast response.

Appreciate it.

I think people are worried that if Legendaries do get a stat increase of some sort, that the act of transmuting might kitten it up somehow. Sure, it will still show Legendary type, but will the transmuted stats scale up?
