(This is just a repost of my Reddit post to put on the GuildWars 2 Forums.)

I’ve talked to a lot of people about the updated kudzu effects. Most of them have agreed that the aura is too subtle for a two-handed legendary. My suggestion is that instead of a flower aura on the hands, the aura should surround the user instead like a veil of flowers. I will be going through examples of why I think it is underwhelming compared to other two-handed weapons.

Example 1 Bifrost: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/ff/The_Bifrost_Aura.jpg

Example 2 Frenzy: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/9b/Frenzy_aura.jpg

Example 3 Juggernaut: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/d9/Juggernaut_armor_effect.jpg

Example 4 The Predator: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/f0/The_Predator_drawn.jpg

Example 5 Sunrise: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/98/Sunrise_wielded.jpg

Example 6 Twilight: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/f5/Twilight_wielded.jpg

Example 7 Eternity: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/7/75/Eternity_day_wielded.jpg

Example 8 Chuka and Champawat: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/8/8d/Chuka_and_Champawat_aura.jpg

So what do we Long bow wielders get for a two-handed aura? Some flowers that are barely noticeable. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/60/Kudzu_aura.jpg

I don’t know if this is just me but sometimes it doesn’t feel like I’m wielding a powerful bow of the wild, but just a skin on a ascended weapon. Even the underwater weapons have more distinct aura, take https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/c/c5/Kraitkin.jpg for example. This is why I feel that Kudzu deserves to have a distinct aura of flowers or something of the like. Not just some Dinky flowers around the hands.

Edit: With the gem store glove skin “Chaos gloves” https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/f6/Chaos_Gloves.jpg Any color other then black you cannot even see the effect on the hands. Thank you for your time to read this. I hope I’m not the only one that feels this way
