Exotic legendary weapons did not get boosted.
They won’t be boosted until the ascended weapons come out. This patch only is introducing ascended rings and back pieces…
Except they did buff legendaries with this patch.

Are you trolling or just can’t read? The legendary there is a sword and the exotic is a short bow. You are comparing two different weapons…
Looks like the buff to legendaries was not intended yet.
Anet, please take a look at updating the exotic legendaries when you do re-add the update to legendaries.
Legendaries have always been better than exotics… Either you are trolling or trying to get a free legendary. If you in fact had a Legendary you would have conveyed much more dissatisfaction. Beside the point, who would transmute a legendary for its skin? To more desired stats? You transferred another weapons stats that wasn’t a legendary to the legendary? Damage also transfers with stats…
Exotics are not legendaries. They are exotic. So you aren’t trolling or trying to get a free legendary, you just can’t read. Gotcha.
You transmutated the stats of a exotic to a legendary. Therefore it’s just a exotic bow with the legendary skin now.
Why would it get buffed?
They never had a legendary. They are confusing exotics with legendaries. Its all clear. Carry on people! :p
The game encourages players to use transmutation stones to get the desired stats to go along with your skin.
Legendaries currently have the same stats as exotics so you only lose the purple text by transmuting the weapon to more desirable stats for your proffesion.
Everyone assumed exotic was the last tier so most people with legendaries have transmuted them already. Those of us that did will get left out when the legendaries get buffed up.
As i see it, this is a bug. All players that crafted a legendary weapon, wether it is transmuted or not should have the stats upgraded to the level of ascended weapons when they are released.
Since they mentioned the transmuting and the color of Legendary not carrying over as a bug. Imagine this is the side-effect now. Hopefully they do something about this though. A lot of people have transmuted their Legendaries to what used to be agreeable stats for them. Since it is ANets fault and lack of communication on the eventual change of the stats that caused this problem now. :/
Transmuted as in; you took the skin of your legendary and put it on the stats of another weapon.. obviously they didn’t boosted that because you transmuted it on something that was originally an exotic weapon, there for it will probably not get boosted at all. The only way I can imagine for you to get the higher stats is transmute it again onto an ascended weapon with the stats of your desire. Because what you currently have is not the actual legendary weapon stats that it had in the first place.
