I recently bought an exotic spear with the intent of using it in the hotw dungeon. Since hotw is more or less the only place I do underwater combat, I decided I’d get one of the 10% damage sigils. The thing is, both a 10% against icebrood and a 10% against sons of svanir sigil exists.
My question is, are the final bosses of path 2 and 3 considered sons of svanir or icebrood? Perhaps both? Visually they look like icebrood, but the HotW dungeon vendor sells the sigils that give a damage bonus against sons of svanir.
An official response would be nice.
Norns with “icy bits” are still Sons of Svanir. Butcher, Zealot and Huntsman are all Sons of Svanir. However, the two twin bosses on Huntsman Path who are all covered in ice and beast-looking are Icebrood.
As long as you don’t stack Toughness on your Warrior/Guardian you can do alright. You just have to watch yourself because you have an easier time grabbing aggro than everyone else.
Dunno about you guys, but I feel his targeting circle is far too small for a creature of his size. This makes it very hard to melee him because your character has to stand “inside” of him in order to reach.
=/ This is off-topic. OP is talking about the quality of the legendaries, not the grind to get them.
Sorta relevant though.
The effort involved in getting the “crappy” Legendaries is very much the same as the one for the “good” ones.
It simply isn’t fair.
I am still going for the Warhorn though, but it will be bittersweet when I finally get it.
If you don’t like the crappy ones don’t go after the crappy ones -.- If you’re using the warhorn you’re what? A ranger, Necro, or Warrior. All of them have other legendary weapon options that are fitting: frostfang for Necro, Kudzu or Rogdort for Ranger, and Warriors have plenty of options because everything’s designed for them lol. But yeah crappy legendaries shouldn’t require the same grind: if the chicken harp played music and left a trail of music notes then it’d be great. The scepter should leave like cloud footprints and a trail of clouds when swung. I think the rest are pretty cool though I understand that not everyone loves rainbows and unicorns
You gotta be trolling here. Demanding that all Legendaries be equally nice is of course outrageous and stupid? I’m a Warrior, but I don’t WANT to use a Greatsword. Should I be punished with a crappier Legendary? No, my other options should be just as sweet. Also, whats up with THREE Legendary Greatswords? Not only are they the best designed ones, but there’s different ones to choose from! Someone really favoured working on the Greatswords over the other weapons…
2 seconds Knockdown sounds decent on paper, but it locks you into the animation for so long that you can barely take advantage of it. Especially bad considering how Merciless Hammer works.
Jormag’s corruption covers their bodies in corrupted ice. Starting with an arm there or a leg there as with the still-recognizable Sons of Svanir, and ends with a full transformation into “true” Icebrood. If you look at the back of an Icebrood Colossus you can actually spot a human (well, norn) spinal cord. Creepy.
One of the best skills for WvW when using Signet Mastery and boon duration runes!
Don’t listen to these trolls. ~13 seconds stability, every 48 seconds is bad?? mmkay.
It’s better than balanced stance imo (Plenty of stun removal when running shouts). Sure the +90 toughness is not that great, but that’s not the point of taking this skill!
Oh, it could be less nice when you run no boon removal, signet trait and no other stun breakers ;P
Balanced Stance says hello. More reliable Stabilty AND a Stun Breaker.
… equal in terms of quality? Some of them are just horrible when compared to the “top dogs” Twilight and Sunrise. You get it all with those; aura around your character, footsteps and new skill projectiles – and more!
What do you get if you make the Warhorn? The Focus? The Pistol? Nothing remarkable. And don’t get me started on the Mace!
Most of the Legendaries need to be done over, and done right.
It is horrible. Waste of a valuable Utility slot. I wish it was just a clone of the Guardian version which reduces all damage taken by a flat 10%. That’s awesome.
Signet of Stamina is way better for survivability. Good passive and good active component to that Signet.
The saddest part about Asura customization is that player characters can not get the default Asura skin tone that almost all NPCs (including Zojja) uses.
I really don’t like my character running around in a huge set of plate armor. I would like to find an armor that looks more like the medium armors, like the swindler’s armor.
Pretty much every T3 Cultural Weapons are very, very underwhelming in comparison to Asura. Have you seen the Norn ones? Looks like they are just models that haven’t been given proper skins yet!
I was going for the “skull” look without getting too necromancer-ish. Ended up with a skull trophy collecting warrior
