Legendary weapons preview and crafting information(Pictures + Video)

[Devlin1991]

That Predator rifle is looking pretty tasty right about now.

I agree, if that is the legendary(I hope it is) then it makes my decision to roll a Necro hard to bare. The scepter and staff are both too flashy for a necro they don't quite scream "Im going to kill you raise you then use you to kill your friends" quite like the Orrian Light armor set does.

The data mined images probably don't do any of these weapons justice. I'm really excited to see them in game.

[ElvenArcher]

Was hoping they'd go less down the magical faerie path and more towards the utility path. God knows THAT mmo which is on everyone's mind saturated us with ridiculously over-pampered weapons with useless additions on them. Can't we get stuff that looks like a weapon?

They're legendary, you wouldn't go through all that work to get a legendary weapon that look like a normal sword (expecially if it wasn't any better stat wise like they are in this game) if you want normal weapons you can transmutate your weapon.

I didn't know GW2 had transmutes, that's great to hear.

THAT IS MY BOW.


Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah

This is the 8 point Hall Of Monument reward bow it would be a good alternative until you have the legendary.



That is the 7 point Gnarled Warlking staff which looks really good aswell.

GW2 transmute system is fantastic imo. Got 2 items? One of them looks cool and has an awesome upgrade, but terrible stats. One of them looks crap, has a terrible upgrade and nice stats? Transmutation stone allows you to pick 3 things: 1) The look of either item, 2) The stats of either item, 3) The upgrade of either item. Both items are consumed to make one item with good looks, good stats and a good upgrade.

For the love of everything that I love about this game.... I sincerely hope those aren't final models.. if they are, major loss in respect for the design/model team.

As they are now; to me, they look like something 5 year olds drew and colored.

Well, they're data mined, and that usually bugs graphical effects (which these weapons are probably covered in). Even the colors are flat because there are no shaders on the weapons. That and they could possibly not be final, they were data mined, meaning that they could have not meant to be seen yet.

Im confident we will see more Legendaries in the future, added in content patches. Because its relatively easy to add, most work has to be done by the art guys, to make the models and animations.
Programming-wise its not a big deal, and since there is no game balance to consider (such as with legendaries in WoW) there is nothing really stoping Arenanet from adding more of this. People love special, flashy, stuff. And it can keep people occupied for a long time.

Cool items, but the video should be worked on, ears blew up on intro, then the guy speaking could hardly be heard due to his volume and accent.

A huge male Norn with Dreamer...MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[Lurker87]

I expect to see a lot of Warriors and possibly Mesmers dual wielding Frostfang and the Fiery Dragon Sword.

The pictures don't give the items justice. They all have animations and of course, low rez pictures. Can you still level up after 80 just like GW1 to get all those skill points needed for the legendary weapons?

Yes, you can level up to gain skill points beyond level cap, just like GW1.

when I first saw that dreamer bow I thought it was a joke

because... y'know

Half those items look like a joke...design team must have been tired.

This is the exact reason why I hate data mining. Comments like this.

It's not the data mining's fault, but the lack of ability to properly connect different strings of thought by the poster

What you see in the OP isn't what you'll see in game. The greatswords sound amazing and I'm sure the picture doesn't do it justice. The hammer already looks pretty cool but the effect sounds awesome, can't wait to see it.

then again these posts prolly weren't directed at me

No I don't think that one will, but others definitely will. The shortbow shoots rainbows though.
