This. Got mildly triggered by it ngl xD since it was the first legendary I made and that's kinda the whole point of it. And the animation is pretty clear as well that it does that...
The blade of eternity literally looks like a window into the cosmos, thats the coolest concept I ever seen for a greatsword and you put it in the middle of B? Aint no way lmao
I know this is 100% subjective, but I cannot imagine a version of reality where Astralaria is rated below Frostfang. I think Astralaria is one of the prettiest legendaries there are. Crazy. Minstrel above Eureka as well? WTF… Oh, and Bolt looks like a fence… WTF bro. Seriously. 🤣🤣🤣
Nah, I think most people can agree that Astralaria looks better than Frostfang. I wanted a legendary axe, so thats why I made Astralaria in the first place, since the option is pretty clear to me.
I like Frostfang more than Astralaria. And although i like both of them it doesn't bother me that they were in B tier. What bothers me is that he put fucking QUIP..... ABOVE them. Ridiculous
I personally really like the animations of Exordium. It feels like the weapon adjusts itself to the needs of the user, making it feel legendary. Becoming more of a lightning rod for mesmer auto attacks, expanding in a shield shape when using the block on the ranger or a dagger forming at the pommel when using a pommel strike. The throwing animation is a bit weird though.
The inconsistensy in the way you explained the weapons and where you placed them was mildly infuriating. Like you had the exact same description for some of the leggies but they scored completely different tiers, just felt kinda rushed. Also with the sounds, you included it on some, but didnt bother to put it in on some of those with actual good sounds
For the love of god. Thank you so much for your comment. I myself was enjoying the best PvP players commentary and showcase of the legendaries, but I completely forgot to bitch and moan about the “inconsistency” of his explanations! For real man, you really put it so beautifully in your comment, please keep up the awesome work. UA-cam would be so inconsistent without you ❤️❤️
@@doulike7thchords agreed with everything said here.. During the whole video.. I was thinking.. Thank god I didn't participate in any fashion contest held by Vallun... A fish tank is not practical.. But a book is!
I have to agree with the inconsistency. Vallun didn't establish the criteria for the grading at the start of the video making his choices look haphazard. He could have explored the effects for more abilities and discussed how the abilities change (or fail to change) across classes. He could have given better examples as to why he thought things were good or bad. I suppose it is difficult to analyze so many legendaries and compare them. I do appreciate Vallun's effort and I have watched most of his videos but I was disappointed with this format of video.
Saying that Bolt is just a fence, without appreciating at all the details of the dragons that are on it feels kinda odd. I think it's one of the most detailed legendaries with those dragons wrapping around the sword
thats exactly what I noticed when I was playing around with my Reshade settings and witnessed all the little details on that weapon.. its underrated imo
@@dymonz2363 While intricate, I would argue that it makes no sense as a sword. Swords are supposed to have an edge, with a fine point so you can cut and stab with them. Making a sword that's basically a barbed wireframe of a fence post, no matter how intricate, doesn't really make sense practically.
@@rolasmola9641 Its a fantasy game.. there are a lot of skins that dont make "sense".. I mean there are candy canes as weapons or quaggans attached to a stuff.. Its a roleplaying game, not a weapon simulator
For the Aztec weapon it would have been a great idea to make the dragon shoot the projectile, instead of from the scepter itself. Like your commanding the dragon to shoot
Nice to see some different opinions on some of the legendaries. My favorite legendary is Sunrise, it was the first one I got and the only one I have right now. I really like the light theme that it has. My least favorite legendary is probably Rodgort. I think it had a lot of potential, but it seems very boring to me. I really liked this tier list. Thorne Templar.6784
I know this is an opinion based tier list, but Eternity is my all time favourite. Coolest weapon i've ever seen. Its top S tier in my list. But overall i think you are spot on
I can see why you don't like Eternity, but please don't forget to mention, that the Footsteps of Eternity is way bigger and has a Explosion on it vs Sunrise&Twilight. Personaly Eternity is S-Tier weapon for me. It has 2 different effects depending on Servertime and its even differrent to Sunrise and Twilight. I can look into the Skies all day long and i don't get tired of it.
I put it at A tier, untill they make 2 new eternity versions that are only using twilight or sunrise skins (with the added eternity effects). You can't really make it fit well with a dye theme as it is currently
Personally, I think some of these weapons like the Howler or Meteorlogicus are designed really well and have amazing aesthetics. It's just those designs don't really work for a weapon, since weapons are small and you swing em all over the place it's very hard to appreciate all the details and at some point it all just becomes a messy blur. I think those designs are best used as full on explorable areas instead of small weapons, you can tell the artists put a lot of effort into them and imo using them as weapon models is such a waste. Legendaries should look fucking amazing, but also be not too detailed such as Eternity, Shiningblade and Kuzdu.
Kudzu: "Is just flowers. Arrows are flowers, footsteps are flowers. That's it. And that's what a legendary should be, that's an A." (literally 10 seconds later) Pharus: "It looks flashy. Shoots lightbeams, (footsteps become flashy), and that's it. So that's why it is low B tier." Personally loved the video. Felt like the author didn't stick to his own standards for ranking, but this video was amazing showcase and help with legendary-options in general.
Cool video though I don't share the same view as in judging leggies based on their combat practicality only, for me it's more about the feel for example with Chuka the draw animation just feels so fluid when you're running around on thief that it makes it top tier for me, as for the worst legendary I think I hate the Dreamer just because of how much BM it feels haha. Anachiel.2364
Being able to see each of the legendaries and their effects was awesome …thanks. Favorite: Flameseeker Prophecies Least Favourite: HMS Divinity Satoog.4971 Thanks for the opportunity.
I felt like I agree, and then you put Exordium, the best greatsword in game in some low B under Twilight or joke like confetti pistol. Thats like wtf xd
Xiucuatl, Binding of Ipos, and Exordium are my top 3. Bi-Frost as well is high for me. I like Pharus, because it has a simple design, yet the effects it has are top tier. Quip I want for my joke character.
Wow, I agree with you in almost every with the exeption of the G1 GSs. 2 years ago it wasn't the case yet. Such a good tier list. Very good reasoning. Grats. ❤
Some of them have super cool effects when hitting an enemy like pharus bow. You should have included those too in the comparison. Also I know it's subjective but flameseeker above twilight ?
1:55 Breaking immersion is a power trip for some. Still, there's "DISCO MURDER WHOO!" and then there's "honk honk clown." 9:15 There's also the lore that, as one of the first proper guns, Predator _killed the Flame Legion._ And enacted the Charr regime change that left the Iron Legion on top. 15:00 Dual-wielding the Shining Blade and the Flameseeker Prophecies has a certain GW1 charm to it. 21:00 Ever hear of a portal cut? It's a piece of the _sky!_ You're hitting them with a rip in the fabric of reality!
My favorite legendary is Pharus :P A lot of my characters leans towards being shiny with bright colours and this weapon fits so cleanly with my fashion wars :P My least favorite would probably be flames of war because of the immersion-breaking features the weapon brings. Griifen.2473
Nice to have a look over the legends, I enjoy getting them. I have Eternity, Sunrise, Twilight, Incinerator, The Shining Blade, Shooshadoo, Bolt, Frostfang, Juggernaut, Predator. I had Rodgort, sold it so but I have the skin. I'm currently making Astralaria and I am trying to decide which one I will make after it.
Favorite Legendary : Nevermore. Fits my character lorewise to a T, has awesome effects and some RL references all combined! Least favorite Legendary: Frostfang. I just don't like the look at all. Looks like something that was awesome on paper or 2d but in a 3d world... hoc.8506
Best: Binding of Ipos (one of my owned Legendaries) - it looks awesome, sadly I don't think many classes can really use Focus enough in Open PvE. Worst: The Dreamer - not only do I think it is ugly (preference), it's also incredibly obnoxious soundwise and forces me to put sound effects to off if someone uses it...
Not very objective as some people may have noticed, but still a great guide! Showing all the weapons and effects in one video was very useful! And I like your perspective on most of the tier list anyway :) Also, allow me to give a small terminology correction: Animation is when player (or weapon) model itself moves. Nevermore ravens flying, Flameseeker page turning, head on Howl or Rodgort moving are animations (love these little details btw, really adds up the Legendary feeling for me). Sparkly glowy stuff is called VFX or visuall effect. All projectiles, traces, explosions and flashy things on drawing / swinging a weapon are effects. Also also, Fav legendary: Flameseeker Prophesies, really clean and not over the top visuals and effects, runes and book projectiles look especially cool, and also a big thing lore-wise! Exordium is close second because of the concept and the amount of work put in all the different weapon forms. Least fav: Pharus. I'd love to see a cool and unique Longbow legendary, but this one looks worse than a store item (Mythic, Chaos and other skins), and even projectiles look like a downgrade from, say, Dragonhunter longbow skills. Tag: eldrevo.1746
What do you mean practicality? When one ranks Legendary weapons they do it based on their looks. That's it. That's the whole point behind having one. And as far as looks are concerned, the greatswords can't be beat. They're genuinely the prettiest looking weapons I've seen in any mmo. Also, you're not hitting them with magic. The blade is still a physical thing. It just drops a trail as you swing. 🤦♂️
Vallun: the moot is not practical, C tier. Also Vallun: a handgun that shoots confetti, that's top B tier. Favorite legendary: Nevermore. Least favorite: Rodgort. Gorondir.1754
Hey Vallun, Punisher.8159 here. I just started playing GW2 coming up on 4 weeks ago after being a GW1 player since 2nd beta. There were a lot of negative comments from the hardcore GW1 community about this game which kept me away. After seeing on some youtube video's (some of yours even) that there were mounts, gliders, raids, and so many amazing artistic skins on top of amazing artwork I caved in and started playing. I am sooooo mad at myself for not trying the game sooner. I'm in absolute love and hooked now. I've been playing a Reaper Necro and going through all these stories and I really missed having a game with a great story and voice actors (I played Rift for awhile... yuk). This game is so much fun! I found this video to be very informative and appreciate your time. For me I think maybe Dusk is my go to favorite? I just love the dark animations but maybe that fits a greatsword wielding necro. The Bi Frost however is just gorgeous to me and fits what a legendary should be very well. For one I may not agree with I would go with the Verdarach. It's just too big and clips with armors too much. I think more thought could have gone into the angle of how it's held with "clipping" in mind. For this, I would have to rate it lower even though the animations are amazing. Thanks for the video's and keep up the good work.
Thanks for putting that list together. So far I'd say that Bolt is my most favorite. Hopefully they make some cool greatswords for gen 3 so I can use it for the new revenant spec.
Very hot take there mate with twilight/sunrise/eternity, i respect that. But man, these swords are iconic, i remember back a bit after launch EVERYONE was following peoppe that had it, i remember running around with a bunch of peoppe following me
i agree that they were probably S rank back then, but i made the video in 2021, dont think theyre that amazing anymore especially when so many better GS skins exist
Most favorite: Exordium, The Shining Blade, The Binding of Ipos and Nevermore, i have 3 of them, sadly i don't really use a focus, so no Binding of Ipos Least favorite: Shooshadoo, it's so immersion breaking for me albsi.7153
so some really hot takes here. I commend you for having such an "out there" opinion on this, putting that trash tier sword shining blade on S is really something! Enjoyed your insanity, thumbs up!
My first legendary was twilight and it'll always be my favorite. The dreamer triggers me so much especially in pvp bleeding out and all you hear is neighhhh Noobpie.5879
Better known as the "My Little Pony Bow". The Skritt Bow. Options>Sound Options> Other Players' Unique Item Sounds =Off. Used 99% of the time just because of The Dreamer.
For me personally, the story with Chuka and Champawat and the legendary itself is what gets it to be the best legendary overall. I like Binding of Ipos and agree with how they're trying to get the legendaries more "environmental" aspects outside of just the aura, footfall and wielding effects. Least for me is Sharur or Flames o War, just don't feel like legendaries at all, which is a shame, because I think Sharur could have been a much better looking legendary, and we've seen adjustments made before with other legendaries. Maybe they end up doing that like they did with Dreamer and Meteorologicus. superkaratemonkey.7408
The binding of ipos has to be one of my favorites for sure, and my least favorite would be the minstrel, since the binding of ipos is so good, also the minstel is super lackluster even with the buffed animations... Phasetwist.6089
Favorite: The Binding of Ipos. It just feels so unique to be wielding a tome of ancient evil as a weapon, and the mystery of the lore behind it intrigues me a lot. I wonder what being made it and what forbidden knowledge is inside that my character knows but sadly I don't. Least Favorite: The Dreamer. It's fun enough as a legendary, but it's the worst in terms of the lore. Anet did alright explaining it with the new text each legendary got, but the fact is unicorns *don't exist* in this world. Horses haven't even been seen in who knows how many centuries. ~ Fenom.9457
Imagine that, the unwieldy and ackw gen2 focus get S tier and blatantly 2 tiers above the like of gen 1 axe or exordium. Interesting standard to say the least.
Fav: Chuka Champawat. Loved that the animations and glow are not over the top while being not too subtle that they are barely noticeable. The collection was highly enjoyable as well. Dreamer: I just can't bring myself to tolerate that sound. Ayon. 9875
that i would put these weapons is so drastically different tiers shows how well done they are - its a lot down to taste and not just which ones got luckily well made
I've crafted a number of these myself and I made Shooshadoo because it was hilarious to have a quaggan with me in a fishbowl, although if I were going to redo this, I would probably have chosen Flameseeker Prophecies instead since I'm a big GW1 fan. Unfortunately shields are not that great on Warrior, which is my main class. I didn't realize how many legendaries utilize the flames look with footsteps and attacks. The Claw of Khan Ur doesn't distinguish itself from Incinerator enough in my opinion and it costs a lot more to craft. There is lore reason for the dagger to exist, since it was the MacGuffin in the Ghosts of Ascalon novel, but Incinerator looks much cleaner. I'm currently working on Astralaria, because I love the look of these weapons that show stars and the sky like Eternity/Twilight/Sunrise, which I have also crafted, but your video makes me want to start working on the Shining Blade. That will have to be a project I will take on in the future. I'm also waiting to see what the third generation weapons actually look like before I start working on yet another one, since only a few people have managed to craft them right now and info is still scarce since the new expansion just came out.
Rodgort is in the same tier as astralaria and exordium? The latter has unique animations for every ability, there are a ton of black lion torch skins that have more effects than rodgort..
Favorite Dreamer.....Have played thief for 9+ years and fun to troll people with...have had it since 3 months into game when it used to just shoot rainbows....also have chuka and chumba, nevermore, quip, flameseekers prophecies, hms...looking forward to gen 3
"With Eternity, the skins are changing during day and night, but is this really that good?" Well yes of course it is, you get 2 legendary skins in one and everybody loves these swords to death. For you trying to be objective, this ist just flatout idiotic
Rodgort gets bonus points for being a Trogdor reference. For those who remember yelling "TROGDOOOOOOOOOR!" in the early two thous-ands, it is an excellent hit of nostalgia, and it definitely goes higher on my own tier list because of it. For those that don't remember Trogdor, Rodgort is just a dragon-torch.
In the Southern US, people pronounce kudzu as "kuhd-zoo". After hearing you pronounce it as "kood-zoo", I looked it up on Google pronounce and you're right! I learned something new. :)
I like how you're reasoning about the realistic practicality of some of these skins like the quaggan shield. yet you're playing an MMO with dragons in a fantasy world, lmao.
i appreciated this video as I am a new player and i was interested in what the Legendries were. I didn't quite agree with the list but also I have none of them so who am I to decide. He stated in the video that this is his opinion and I appreciate him taking the time to make it.
Favourite legendary: Verdarach. I mean...a warhorn crafted by the God of Death? YES PLEASE (and the animations are amazing). Least favourite: I'd say The Dreamer, since I absolutely hate its sound, but I vote for The Moot, completely out of place and immersion breaking. Fjandi.2516
Remember that if you disagree with this list, it is still the MOST popular tier list. However, I welcome all opinions and you should make your own here: tiermaker.com/create/guild-wars-2-legendary-weapons-incl-underwaters-373996 and post it in my discord: discord.gg/kQhRTme Giveaway winners have been chosen: Congrats to NovaCarry.7396 | LXRELENTLESSXL.4156 | Anachiel.2364 | eldrevo.1746 | Zalani.9827 | Xanxicar.6489 I decided to give out 6 instead of 4 because everyone gave such great responses :)
I mostly agree with your list but i think Twilligh should have been higher. I love it on my warrior even it's hard to combine it with other weapons sets in terms of fashion. great video!
Great video! My least favorite is The Dreamer, this one is a big turn off and get so fed up of thieves using it all the time! My favorite is still the same as day one , The Flameseeker Prophecies, good lore and beautiful skin. Chiantox.7520
Favourite: Astralaria, most used weapon for my ranger and it was an Odyssey to get it Least Favourite: Minstrel, it just doesn't fit any focused oriented class in my opinion Arheundel.6451
Minstrel was neat when you played Chrono Mesmer with a Focus, and that is probably about it, I think it would look better in some classes if you could Dye the weapons.
Favorite: Kudzu, gorgeous and plays it’s theme with all the legendary effects u could want. It also makes a gentle birdsong when firing which is pleasant to listen to. Bias but I consider it S lol. Ipos is a close second Least Favorite: Juggernaut Top worst: Flames of War I don’t even consider it a legendary Zalani.9827
Probably because Chuka is my first completed legendary so there's bias, but the tiger roar effect just makes it a really unique and top tier legendary for me.
Nice video (it's cool to see every legendary ^^) My favorite: Bolt (because it's my first legendary, and I feel like a Sūpā Saiya-jin =D ) My least favorite: Flames of War shadow.4052
Favorite legendary: The Predator and Eternity (couldn’t choose haha) Least favorite legendary: Pharus reiwyvern.8167 I picked those two legendaries for odd/sentimental reasons; Eternity because drawing and art is important to me, and Sunrise and Twilight look like paint and ink when they are wielded. It is also the first legendary that I crafted. The Predator because I got the precursor as a drop, which caused a domino effect of me creating a deadeye and falling in love with the class then crafting The Predator for it. Plus the sound effects and projectiles were a bonus pleasant surprise.
I run Dreamer and Bifrost on my Charr Daredevil. Rainbows for everyone! HOPE and Quip make a fun combo, too, especially on a Deadeye where you're just spamming barrage. It's so obnoxious.
Favorite legendary: Binding of Ipos. Even tho I own 12 legendary weapons, I havent crafted the one I like the most because strictly Off Hand weapons have lower priority compared to others. Least favorite: All of the "Joke Legendaries" (Dreamer, Moot, Quip, Shooshadoo) are not only inmersion breaking but also look too silly to me. Tormentor.2508
I would have to say my favorite legendary out of all legendaries so far would still be The Binding of Ipos. It was the second legendary I made, after Bolt (which I totally wish I would have made The Shining Blade instead, I just hadn't seen it when I made Bolt.) As for my least favorite legendary, thats a hard one. There are several legendaries i find......... truly distasteful. If I had to single-handedly pick just one, it would be Flames of War. That thing is just god-awful everything. Really enjoyed this video though. I'm glad you compiled a video with all legendaries and their effects. Definitely helps me choose which ones next. Really I just need a shit ton of clovers, but who doesn't. Great video and keep up the good work mate. Kraken Lungz.5370
Shoshado is fishtank to makes no sence to defend and breaks immersion. Defend with a book, not immersion breaking? xD You just do not like shooshadoo because it is silly not because it is immpersion breaking. My Fav Legendaries are Reven Staff and Unicorn Bow :D, both for different reasons and yes I use them on thief for maximum sound overload.
I could have sworn I was already subscribed to you but I sub now huehuehue Fav Legendary: The Dreamer, I think the annoying sound effects are hilarious xD Least Fav Legendary: Eureka, I like all legendaries, it's just this one is the plainest imo DNA.7890
Just wanted to note that the raven of the Nevermore staff is actually the physical form of a raven spirit and when you weild the staff it doesn't "fly off to not get hurt" it actually transforms into the spirit form and envelopes the staff (the blue raven effect). There is a whole quest line about it (I am sure you are aware) and from all the legendaries I've made this one is my all time favorite: beautiful animation and skin, hardcore crafting and interesting questline. It is S tier for me but I don't mind your placement after all it's your opinion :)
P.S. it is hilarious when people try to find "reality" and "physics" in the fantasy game :D "Fishtank that will break doesn't make sense to me" Haha, and the talking cats (char) do? :D
Favorite: Shining Blade (amazing looking skin, powerful lore item, subtle animation fx, has one of the best footfalls of all legendaries, practical for Leg Armory as almost all classes can utilize swords) Least Favorite: Flames of War (unwieldly off-balanced oversized candlestick, barely visible animation fx, odd looking hexagonal footfalls, they should add drips of candle wax coming off the weapon and appearing as splotches on the ground) Xeleria.8607
As a Astralaria enjoyer i'm a bit sad by your rating, but i absolutely understand the reasoning. Anyway it fits my toon very well and I like it that way...only the footsteps could last a bit longer. Overall good video I agree a lot with your ratings. ATom.7139
im here just to check if The Binding of Ipos is S tier, because if not, im malding very much. Im very casual, and i never crafted a Legendary, and i have only 4 ascended weapons an half of armor. When i do my open world or Fractals, the only game modes i enjoy, i see many people with Leggy's. But none is so jaw-dropping as Ipos, god damn its so beautiful im actually thinking of making it myself, now i just need to find a good build _focused_ around _focuses_ edit, you indeed made it an S tier, very based and valid of you. Astralaria is very beautiful leggy imo, the mechanism animation is pretty, and the fact that it "ablazes" the cosmic particles from the mechanism part is very dope i think another edit, what about the Exordium on Mesmer, and few other professions? Some animations may look weird, but on mesmer for example, the sword turns "circular" on basic attacks, which i find very god damn cool Pharus has S tier SOUNDS, another leggy i thought i may actually start invensting in The flying wizard scepter, would be cool if the flying lyzard would shoot little bit of projectile that connects with the projectile from Scepter itself, as if the tiny lyzard added some of it's own power to the shot
Most Fav. Twilight. Reaper theme and dark theme who wield dark powers and dark aura Least Fav. FrostFang & Binding of Ipos, Chill and Dark Tomes vibes. Exordium & Shining Blade for guardians FIT for all mighty light theme aura Prhyme.1635
Interesting take - I agree with some (Shining Blade is phenomenal / Shooshadoo, wtf were they smoking that day?) disagree with others (My DH, Adam Glambert, looks stunning while beating the sh!t out of things with Moot) but overall a good watch. And definitely appreciate the effort so I could check out the effects/footfalls; I toyed with upgrading Dreamer to Chuka but after watching this, underwhelming is a really apt description and think I'll just move straight on to Aurene's Wing; so thanks for putting this together for an easy visual reference 😁
Favourite: Xiuquatl, fit most characters using a scepter and overall balance effect, unique dragon following you and kinda linked to Utopia. Least Favourite: Flames of War, I don't like that cake. Zar.1069
My personal opinion about Claw of Khan-Ur is that it's cool because of the large stowing animation, which many legendaries don't have. Yeah it could be shinier though
First off - I love the video ^^ The reasoning behind your choices, especially the predator is clearly not objective, but it still helped me figuring out what I want and like c: Second - There are community chests?! I want that fricking GW2-Shirt Outfit for ages, since I started out playing later and I really enjoy the shirt skins. My top legendary is bolt - just like how it goes with the attunement sword effects of my weaver and I like the dreamer the least, because it annoys me alot. Froggybeef.1762
My favourite legendary: Xiuquatl The colours are really nice. I also love the serpent. Maybe it's a bit too long for a scepter. But I still love it. (Second favourite is Nevermore, I do like my familiars...) My least favourite legendary: Flames of War I don't have to explain this one, right? It's just bad. PfluffiTost.5137
God I’ve never disagreed with a tier list so much 😂 this was a fun watch
I've never heard an adult whine so much in the span of 34 minutes, my right arrow button had a lot of actions, it asked for a vacation.
@@laniakeasupernovae9256 I think you misunderstood my comment friend.
@@tec_mattis1807 I'm sorry if I did. Oh I was referring to the man in the video, I hope you didn't' misunderstand as well.
I thought it was aprils fools when I watched this... worst tier review out there.....
This wasn’t a hate comment. I enjoyed the video was just having a laugh about our taste differences
Nevermore's raven doesn't go away, his spirit goes into the staff :D
This. Got mildly triggered by it ngl xD since it was the first legendary I made and that's kinda the whole point of it. And the animation is pretty clear as well that it does that...
and you can see ravens fly above you
@@farerawei2469 and Spirit Ravens fly up the staff, and also sends out Ravens as the attack animations.
Yeah c'mon dude. Percy doesn't fly away. He is a spirit. He is my pet, I raised him from an egg while he bankrupt me.
The blade of eternity literally looks like a window into the cosmos, thats the coolest concept I ever seen for a greatsword and you put it in the middle of B? Aint no way lmao
I know this is 100% subjective, but I cannot imagine a version of reality where Astralaria is rated below Frostfang. I think Astralaria is one of the prettiest legendaries there are. Crazy. Minstrel above Eureka as well? WTF…
Oh, and Bolt looks like a fence… WTF bro. Seriously. 🤣🤣🤣
Nah, I think most people can agree that Astralaria looks better than Frostfang. I wanted a legendary axe, so thats why I made Astralaria in the first place, since the option is pretty clear to me.
YES, GOD YES
FR, when Astralaria came out I felt regret of having my Frostfang and now with the Jormag Legendary it feels even worse
@Xx IO this is true, it is very subjective. To each their own, I guess.
I like Frostfang more than Astralaria. And although i like both of them it doesn't bother me that they were in B tier. What bothers me is that he put fucking QUIP..... ABOVE them. Ridiculous
I personally really like the animations of Exordium. It feels like the weapon adjusts itself to the needs of the user, making it feel legendary. Becoming more of a lightning rod for mesmer auto attacks, expanding in a shield shape when using the block on the ranger or a dagger forming at the pommel when using a pommel strike. The throwing animation is a bit weird though.
When you throw it, it forms into a throwing star. :0 Sounds like it's doing exactly what you're exalting it for!
@@HilltopSunset True, but it's massive haha. It turns into almost 4 swords
Can’t forget it turning into a battle axe during the guardian spin.
Don't forget it turns into a scythe for the necromancer!
Did someone say EXODIA?
The inconsistensy in the way you explained the weapons and where you placed them was mildly infuriating. Like you had the exact same description for some of the leggies but they scored completely different tiers, just felt kinda rushed. Also with the sounds, you included it on some, but didnt bother to put it in on some of those with actual good sounds
not every legendary fits neatly into the category, there are plus and minus you need to weigh for all categories xD
For the love of god. Thank you so much for your comment. I myself was enjoying the best PvP players commentary and showcase of the legendaries, but I completely forgot to bitch and moan about the “inconsistency” of his explanations! For real man, you really put it so beautifully in your comment, please keep up the awesome work. UA-cam would be so inconsistent without you ❤️❤️
@@doulike7thchords agreed with everything said here.. During the whole video.. I was thinking.. Thank god I didn't participate in any fashion contest held by Vallun...
A fish tank is not practical.. But a book is!
I have to agree with the inconsistency. Vallun didn't establish the criteria for the grading at the start of the video making his choices look haphazard. He could have explored the effects for more abilities and discussed how the abilities change (or fail to change) across classes. He could have given better examples as to why he thought things were good or bad. I suppose it is difficult to analyze so many legendaries and compare them. I do appreciate Vallun's effort and I have watched most of his videos but I was disappointed with this format of video.
@@roydaniel6093 yup.. I do enjoy all of his content.. Just this was surprising..
Don't forget the minstrel actually gives you an instrument to play on. Same as the gen 2 warhorn
And the sound is different compare to a normal harp item
Saying that Bolt is just a fence, without appreciating at all the details of the dragons that are on it feels kinda odd. I think it's one of the most detailed legendaries with those dragons wrapping around the sword
thats exactly what I noticed when I was playing around with my Reshade settings and witnessed all the little details on that weapon.. its underrated imo
@@dymonz2363 While intricate, I would argue that it makes no sense as a sword. Swords are supposed to have an edge, with a fine point so you can cut and stab with them. Making a sword that's basically a barbed wireframe of a fence post, no matter how intricate, doesn't really make sense practically.
It looks kinda wack tho
@@rolasmola9641 That's abit stupid considering Incinerator is just a flame, and that flower longbow is just flowers lol
@@rolasmola9641 Its a fantasy game.. there are a lot of skins that dont make "sense".. I mean there are candy canes as weapons or quaggans attached to a stuff.. Its a roleplaying game, not a weapon simulator
For the Aztec weapon it would have been a great idea to make the dragon shoot the projectile, instead of from the scepter itself. Like your commanding the dragon to shoot
I can imagine that guy who volunteered to show case Eureka for you felt betrayed after he saw this haha
Nice to see some different opinions on some of the legendaries. My favorite legendary is Sunrise, it was the first one I got and the only one I have right now. I really like the light theme that it has. My least favorite legendary is probably Rodgort. I think it had a lot of potential, but it seems very boring to me.
I really liked this tier list.
Thorne Templar.6784
you gotta admit, noone's expected Gen 1 longbow to be above the greatswords xD
yea thats just a wrong opnion tbh most of those are, f tier tier list
I know this is an opinion based tier list, but Eternity is my all time favourite. Coolest weapon i've ever seen. Its top S tier in my list. But overall i think you are spot on
theres no other greatsword / 2h sword as cool, in any mmorpg, like Eternity, the sword is just out of this world
gotta agree. I don't see any future greatsword skin beating this. But I welcome it
@@Mcruz0r the aurene greatsword is kinda meh imo, looks more like lance really
It's the flagship legendary.
it's kiond of ruined by everyone wearing it though. It's not distinctive or outstanding anymore.
I can see why you don't like Eternity, but please don't forget to mention, that the Footsteps of Eternity is way bigger and has a Explosion on it vs Sunrise&Twilight. Personaly Eternity is S-Tier weapon for me. It has 2 different effects depending on Servertime and its even differrent to Sunrise and Twilight. I can look into the Skies all day long and i don't get tired of it.
I put it at A tier, untill they make 2 new eternity versions that are only using twilight or sunrise skins (with the added eternity effects). You can't really make it fit well with a dye theme as it is currently
Personally, I think some of these weapons like the Howler or Meteorlogicus are designed really well and have amazing aesthetics. It's just those designs don't really work for a weapon, since weapons are small and you swing em all over the place it's very hard to appreciate all the details and at some point it all just becomes a messy blur. I think those designs are best used as full on explorable areas instead of small weapons, you can tell the artists put a lot of effort into them and imo using them as weapon models is such a waste. Legendaries should look fucking amazing, but also be not too detailed such as Eternity, Shiningblade and Kuzdu.
Kudzu: "Is just flowers. Arrows are flowers, footsteps are flowers. That's it. And that's what a legendary should be, that's an A."
(literally 10 seconds later)
Pharus: "It looks flashy. Shoots lightbeams, (footsteps become flashy), and that's it. So that's why it is low B tier."
Personally loved the video. Felt like the author didn't stick to his own standards for ranking, but this video was amazing showcase and help with legendary-options in general.
Cool video though I don't share the same view as in judging leggies based on their combat practicality only, for me it's more about the feel for example with Chuka the draw animation just feels so fluid when you're running around on thief that it makes it top tier for me, as for the worst legendary I think I hate the Dreamer just because of how much BM it feels haha.
Anachiel.2364
I find it weird to judge something like that quaggan shield saying it would break, especially in a game full of magical shit lol.
Being able to see each of the legendaries and their effects was awesome …thanks.
Favorite: Flameseeker Prophecies Least Favourite: HMS Divinity
Satoog.4971
Thanks for the opportunity.
Justifications for placements were all over the place
I felt like I agree, and then you put Exordium, the best greatsword in game in some low B under Twilight or joke like confetti pistol. Thats like wtf xd
My favorite: during The Predator when the dude in the back is just casually gliding around @ 8:58
Xiucuatl, Binding of Ipos, and Exordium are my top 3. Bi-Frost as well is high for me. I like Pharus, because it has a simple design, yet the effects it has are top tier. Quip I want for my joke character.
Wow, I agree with you in almost every with the exeption of the G1 GSs. 2 years ago it wasn't the case yet. Such a good tier list. Very good reasoning. Grats. ❤
Some of them have super cool effects when hitting an enemy like pharus bow. You should have included those too in the comparison.
Also I know it's subjective but flameseeker above twilight ?
1:55 Breaking immersion is a power trip for some. Still, there's "DISCO MURDER WHOO!" and then there's "honk honk clown."
9:15 There's also the lore that, as one of the first proper guns, Predator _killed the Flame Legion._ And enacted the Charr regime change that left the Iron Legion on top.
15:00 Dual-wielding the Shining Blade and the Flameseeker Prophecies has a certain GW1 charm to it.
21:00 Ever hear of a portal cut? It's a piece of the _sky!_ You're hitting them with a rip in the fabric of reality!
My favorite legendary is Pharus :P A lot of my characters leans towards being shiny with bright colours and this weapon fits so cleanly with my fashion wars :P
My least favorite would probably be flames of war because of the immersion-breaking features the weapon brings.
Griifen.2473
Nice to have a look over the legends, I enjoy getting them. I have Eternity, Sunrise, Twilight, Incinerator, The Shining Blade, Shooshadoo, Bolt, Frostfang, Juggernaut, Predator. I had Rodgort, sold it so but I have the skin. I'm currently making Astralaria and I am trying to decide which one I will make after it.
Favorite Legendary : Nevermore. Fits my character lorewise to a T, has awesome effects and some RL references all combined!
Least favorite Legendary: Frostfang. I just don't like the look at all. Looks like something that was awesome on paper or 2d but in a 3d world...
hoc.8506
with the minstrel legendary you also unlock the harp version of that legendary who's sound a lot more fluid and nice the the regular harp.
Best: Binding of Ipos (one of my owned Legendaries) - it looks awesome, sadly I don't think many classes can really use Focus enough in Open PvE. Worst: The Dreamer - not only do I think it is ugly (preference), it's also incredibly obnoxious soundwise and forces me to put sound effects to off if someone uses it...
Dreamer is just terrible lol
Not very objective as some people may have noticed, but still a great guide! Showing all the weapons and effects in one video was very useful! And I like your perspective on most of the tier list anyway :)
Also, allow me to give a small terminology correction: Animation is when player (or weapon) model itself moves. Nevermore ravens flying, Flameseeker page turning, head on Howl or Rodgort moving are animations (love these little details btw, really adds up the Legendary feeling for me). Sparkly glowy stuff is called VFX or visuall effect. All projectiles, traces, explosions and flashy things on drawing / swinging a weapon are effects.
Also also,
Fav legendary: Flameseeker Prophesies, really clean and not over the top visuals and effects, runes and book projectiles look especially cool, and also a big thing lore-wise! Exordium is close second because of the concept and the amount of work put in all the different weapon forms.
Least fav: Pharus. I'd love to see a cool and unique Longbow legendary, but this one looks worse than a store item (Mythic, Chaos and other skins), and even projectiles look like a downgrade from, say, Dragonhunter longbow skills.
Tag: eldrevo.1746
flame seeker prophesy is still my favorite legendary by a pretty wide margin.
I've had Nevermore for at least a year now, and just learned today there's an extra effect on crit 😂
I dont skip your explanation :D lovely video really if anything I see all legendaries in one place thanks Vallun
What do you mean practicality? When one ranks Legendary weapons they do it based on their looks. That's it. That's the whole point behind having one. And as far as looks are concerned, the greatswords can't be beat. They're genuinely the prettiest looking weapons I've seen in any mmo.
Also, you're not hitting them with magic. The blade is still a physical thing. It just drops a trail as you swing. 🤦♂️
Vallun: the moot is not practical, C tier.
Also Vallun: a handgun that shoots confetti, that's top B tier.
Favorite legendary: Nevermore.
Least favorite: Rodgort.
Gorondir.1754
Hey Vallun,
Punisher.8159 here. I just started playing GW2 coming up on 4 weeks ago after being a GW1 player since 2nd beta. There were a lot of negative comments from the hardcore GW1 community about this game which kept me away. After seeing on some youtube video's (some of yours even) that there were mounts, gliders, raids, and so many amazing artistic skins on top of amazing artwork I caved in and started playing. I am sooooo mad at myself for not trying the game sooner. I'm in absolute love and hooked now. I've been playing a Reaper Necro and going through all these stories and I really missed having a game with a great story and voice actors (I played Rift for awhile... yuk). This game is so much fun! I found this video to be very informative and appreciate your time. For me I think maybe Dusk is my go to favorite? I just love the dark animations but maybe that fits a greatsword wielding necro. The Bi Frost however is just gorgeous to me and fits what a legendary should be very well. For one I may not agree with I would go with the Verdarach. It's just too big and clips with armors too much. I think more thought could have gone into the angle of how it's held with "clipping" in mind. For this, I would have to rate it lower even though the animations are amazing. Thanks for the video's and keep up the good work.
I got eternity, frostfang and bolt combo and Im in love for years with this combo and would never change them. Def top tier for me :D
Thanks for putting that list together. So far I'd say that Bolt is my most favorite. Hopefully they make some cool greatswords for gen 3 so I can use it for the new revenant spec.
Very hot take there mate with twilight/sunrise/eternity, i respect that.
But man, these swords are iconic, i remember back a bit after launch EVERYONE was following peoppe that had it, i remember running around with a bunch of peoppe following me
i agree that they were probably S rank back then, but i made the video in 2021, dont think theyre that amazing anymore especially when so many better GS skins exist
Most favorite: Exordium, The Shining Blade, The Binding of Ipos and Nevermore, i have 3 of them, sadly i don't really use a focus, so no Binding of Ipos
Least favorite: Shooshadoo, it's so immersion breaking for me
albsi.7153
Jugg with poly orange infusion gives you the only true gold armor. Fits perfectly with a fire charr look using ember infusion and Koda's warmth
so some really hot takes here. I commend you for having such an "out there" opinion on this, putting that trash tier sword shining blade on S is really something! Enjoyed your insanity, thumbs up!
My first legendary was twilight and it'll always be my favorite. The dreamer triggers me so much especially in pvp bleeding out and all you hear is neighhhh
Noobpie.5879
Better known as the "My Little Pony Bow". The Skritt Bow. Options>Sound Options> Other Players' Unique Item Sounds =Off. Used 99% of the time just because of The Dreamer.
For me personally, the story with Chuka and Champawat and the legendary itself is what gets it to be the best legendary overall. I like Binding of Ipos and agree with how they're trying to get the legendaries more "environmental" aspects outside of just the aura, footfall and wielding effects.
Least for me is Sharur or Flames o War, just don't feel like legendaries at all, which is a shame, because I think Sharur could have been a much better looking legendary, and we've seen adjustments made before with other legendaries. Maybe they end up doing that like they did with Dreamer and Meteorologicus.
superkaratemonkey.7408
The binding of ipos has to be one of my favorites for sure, and my least favorite would be the minstrel, since the binding of ipos is so good, also the minstel is super lackluster even with the buffed animations... Phasetwist.6089
Favorite: The Binding of Ipos. It just feels so unique to be wielding a tome of ancient evil as a weapon, and the mystery of the lore behind it intrigues me a lot. I wonder what being made it and what forbidden knowledge is inside that my character knows but sadly I don't.
Least Favorite: The Dreamer. It's fun enough as a legendary, but it's the worst in terms of the lore. Anet did alright explaining it with the new text each legendary got, but the fact is unicorns *don't exist* in this world. Horses haven't even been seen in who knows how many centuries.
~ Fenom.9457
I'm counting on EOD to be mainly underwater content and force my underwater leggies to shoot up in value.
Cool video and insights Vallun
Favorite: binding of ipos
Least favorite: bolt
tnthi.8945
Hello:)! I was wondering what armor set your character during the HOPE review was! I enjoyed the video:)!
Imagine that, the unwieldy and ackw gen2 focus get S tier and blatantly 2 tiers above the like of gen 1 axe or exordium. Interesting standard to say the least.
Ya lost me at 3:12. Quip, the most annoying and immersion breaking joke of a weapon in the game, is b-tier?
Love the video! Really helps us newcomers/legendary-less players think about which ones are the coolest and worth investing time in ^^
Fav: Chuka Champawat. Loved that the animations and glow are not over the top while being not too subtle that they are barely noticeable. The collection was highly enjoyable as well.
Dreamer: I just can't bring myself to tolerate that sound.
Ayon. 9875
that i would put these weapons is so drastically different tiers shows how well done they are - its a lot down to taste and not just which ones got luckily well made
I've crafted a number of these myself and I made Shooshadoo because it was hilarious to have a quaggan with me in a fishbowl, although if I were going to redo this, I would probably have chosen Flameseeker Prophecies instead since I'm a big GW1 fan. Unfortunately shields are not that great on Warrior, which is my main class.
I didn't realize how many legendaries utilize the flames look with footsteps and attacks. The Claw of Khan Ur doesn't distinguish itself from Incinerator enough in my opinion and it costs a lot more to craft. There is lore reason for the dagger to exist, since it was the MacGuffin in the Ghosts of Ascalon novel, but Incinerator looks much cleaner.
I'm currently working on Astralaria, because I love the look of these weapons that show stars and the sky like Eternity/Twilight/Sunrise, which I have also crafted, but your video makes me want to start working on the Shining Blade. That will have to be a project I will take on in the future.
I'm also waiting to see what the third generation weapons actually look like before I start working on yet another one, since only a few people have managed to craft them right now and info is still scarce since the new expansion just came out.
Great Vid Vallun
Fav for me was my 1st legendary - Frostfang
Least, mainly due to sounds affects - Quip
KidB.7592
Rodgort is in the same tier as astralaria and exordium? The latter has unique animations for every ability, there are a ton of black lion torch skins that have more effects than rodgort..
My favorite is Shining Blade, Least Favorite is Mistrel xFrosted.5968 , great video !!
Favorite Dreamer.....Have played thief for 9+ years and fun to troll people with...have had it since 3 months into game when it used to just shoot rainbows....also have chuka and chumba, nevermore, quip, flameseekers prophecies, hms...looking forward to gen 3
"With Eternity, the skins are changing during day and night, but is this really that good?"
Well yes of course it is, you get 2 legendary skins in one and everybody loves these swords to death. For you trying to be objective, this ist just flatout idiotic
imagine ranking aurene weapons...
they all LOOK SAME! so all tier D
Rodgort gets bonus points for being a Trogdor reference. For those who remember yelling "TROGDOOOOOOOOOR!" in the early two thous-ands, it is an excellent hit of nostalgia, and it definitely goes higher on my own tier list because of it. For those that don't remember Trogdor, Rodgort is just a dragon-torch.
In the Southern US, people pronounce kudzu as "kuhd-zoo". After hearing you pronounce it as "kood-zoo", I looked it up on Google pronounce and you're right! I learned something new. :)
yea it looks like an asian word so i defaulted to their syllabic systems sounds
I like how you're reasoning about the realistic practicality of some of these skins like the quaggan shield. yet you're playing an MMO with dragons in a fantasy world, lmao.
i appreciated this video as I am a new player and i was interested in what the Legendries were. I didn't quite agree with the list but also I have none of them so who am I to decide. He stated in the video that this is his opinion and I appreciate him taking the time to make it.
Favourite legendary: Verdarach. I mean...a warhorn crafted by the God of Death? YES PLEASE (and the animations are amazing).
Least favourite: I'd say The Dreamer, since I absolutely hate its sound, but I vote for The Moot, completely out of place and immersion breaking.

I mostly agree with your list but i think Twilligh should have been higher. I love it on my warrior even it's hard to combine it with other weapons sets in terms of fashion. great video!
Great video!
My least favorite is The Dreamer, this one is a big turn off and get so fed up of thieves using it all the time!
My favorite is still the same as day one , The Flameseeker Prophecies, good lore and beautiful skin.
Chiantox.7520
Favourite: Astralaria, most used weapon for my ranger and it was an Odyssey to get it
Least Favourite: Minstrel, it just doesn't fit any focused oriented class in my opinion
Arheundel.6451
Minstrel was neat when you played Chrono Mesmer with a Focus, and that is probably about it, I think it would look better in some classes if you could Dye the weapons.
Odyssey is the word. I've loved the lore around Astralaria's craft
Favorite: Kudzu, gorgeous and plays it’s theme with all the legendary effects u could want. It also makes a gentle birdsong when firing which is pleasant to listen to. Bias but I consider it S lol. Ipos is a close second
Least Favorite: Juggernaut
Top worst: Flames of War I don’t even consider it a legendary
Zalani.9827
Probably because Chuka is my first completed legendary so there's bias, but the tiger roar effect just makes it a really unique and top tier legendary for me.
Nice video (it's cool to see every legendary ^^)
My favorite: Bolt (because it's my first legendary, and I feel like a Sūpā Saiya-jin =D )
My least favorite: Flames of War
shadow.4052
Favorite legendary: The Predator and Eternity (couldn’t choose haha)
Least favorite legendary: Pharus
reiwyvern.8167
I picked those two legendaries for odd/sentimental reasons; Eternity because drawing and art is important to me, and Sunrise and Twilight look like paint and ink when they are wielded. It is also the first legendary that I crafted. The Predator because I got the precursor as a drop, which caused a domino effect of me creating a deadeye and falling in love with the class then crafting The Predator for it. Plus the sound effects and projectiles were a bonus pleasant surprise.
I run Dreamer and Bifrost on my Charr Daredevil. Rainbows for everyone! HOPE and Quip make a fun combo, too, especially on a Deadeye where you're just spamming barrage. It's so obnoxious.
Favorite legendary: Binding of Ipos. Even tho I own 12 legendary weapons, I havent crafted the one I like the most because strictly Off Hand weapons have lower priority compared to others.
Least favorite: All of the "Joke Legendaries" (Dreamer, Moot, Quip, Shooshadoo) are not only inmersion breaking but also look too silly to me. Tormentor.2508
I would have to say my favorite legendary out of all legendaries so far would still be The Binding of Ipos. It was the second legendary I made, after Bolt (which I totally wish I would have made The Shining Blade instead, I just hadn't seen it when I made Bolt.) As for my least favorite legendary, thats a hard one. There are several legendaries i find......... truly distasteful. If I had to single-handedly pick just one, it would be Flames of War. That thing is just god-awful everything. Really enjoyed this video though. I'm glad you compiled a video with all legendaries and their effects. Definitely helps me choose which ones next. Really I just need a shit ton of clovers, but who doesn't. Great video and keep up the good work mate. Kraken Lungz.5370
Shoshado is fishtank to makes no sence to defend and breaks immersion. Defend with a book, not immersion breaking? xD You just do not like shooshadoo because it is silly not because it is immpersion breaking.
My Fav Legendaries are Reven Staff and Unicorn Bow :D, both for different reasons and yes I use them on thief for maximum sound overload.
My favorite: Astralaria
Least fav: Sharur
Emonator.3095
I could have sworn I was already subscribed to you but I sub now huehuehue
Fav Legendary: The Dreamer, I think the annoying sound effects are hilarious xD
Least Fav Legendary: Eureka, I like all legendaries, it's just this one is the plainest imo
DNA.7890
Just wanted to note that the raven of the Nevermore staff is actually the physical form of a raven spirit and when you weild the staff it doesn't "fly off to not get hurt" it actually transforms into the spirit form and envelopes the staff (the blue raven effect). There is a whole quest line about it (I am sure you are aware) and from all the legendaries I've made this one is my all time favorite: beautiful animation and skin, hardcore crafting and interesting questline. It is S tier for me but I don't mind your placement after all it's your opinion :)
P.S. it is hilarious when people try to find "reality" and "physics" in the fantasy game :D "Fishtank that will break doesn't make sense to me" Haha, and the talking cats (char) do? :D
personification is much more realisitc than laws of physics being broken lol, gotta draw a line somewhere
Favorite: Shining Blade (amazing looking skin, powerful lore item, subtle animation fx, has one of the best footfalls of all legendaries, practical for Leg Armory as almost all classes can utilize swords)
Least Favorite: Flames of War (unwieldly off-balanced oversized candlestick, barely visible animation fx, odd looking hexagonal footfalls, they should add drips of candle wax coming off the weapon and appearing as splotches on the ground)
Xeleria.8607
Most favorite: Hope or Binding of Ipos. I like the sound effects of Hope but Biding is really unique.
Least favorite: Howler
Zunar.4730
Favorite Legendary: Shining Blade
Least Favorite: (tie) Shooshadoo unless I can hear Dreamer
It's good to see these. thx
Hello. Checking back in. Did we ever choose the winners for the Legendary giveaways?
As a Astralaria enjoyer i'm a bit sad by your rating, but i absolutely understand the reasoning. Anyway it fits my toon very well and I like it that way...only the footsteps could last a bit longer. Overall good video I agree a lot with your ratings. ATom.7139
We can assume your fav is Astralaria … what’s your least fav ?!
@@relentlessnights4211 probably Quip...there's nothing on that weapon i'd appreciate.
Favorite: The Binding of Ipos/Exordium
Least Favorite: Flames of War
ChaosIceKing.2345
Most Favorite: Binding of Ipos. Least Favorite: Quip. Ovark.2514
im here just to check if The Binding of Ipos is S tier, because if not, im malding very much.
Im very casual, and i never crafted a Legendary, and i have only 4 ascended weapons an half of armor.
When i do my open world or Fractals, the only game modes i enjoy, i see many people with Leggy's. But none is so jaw-dropping as Ipos, god damn its so beautiful im actually thinking of making it myself, now i just need to find a good build _focused_ around _focuses_
edit, you indeed made it an S tier, very based and valid of you.
Astralaria is very beautiful leggy imo, the mechanism animation is pretty, and the fact that it "ablazes" the cosmic particles from the mechanism part is very dope i think
another edit, what about the Exordium on Mesmer, and few other professions? Some animations may look weird, but on mesmer for example, the sword turns "circular" on basic attacks, which i find very god damn cool
Pharus has S tier SOUNDS, another leggy i thought i may actually start invensting in
The flying wizard scepter, would be cool if the flying lyzard would shoot little bit of projectile that connects with the projectile from Scepter itself, as if the tiny lyzard added some of it's own power to the shot
Best is Astralaria as I use Axe on all my builds :D And obviously The Dreamer is the worst legendary purely for it's sound effect ;) Yatech.3984
Most Fav. Twilight. Reaper theme and dark theme who wield dark powers and dark aura
Least Fav. FrostFang & Binding of Ipos, Chill and Dark Tomes vibes. Exordium & Shining Blade for guardians FIT for all mighty light theme aura
Prhyme.1635
My favorite is the HMS because of the sound. Its so satisfying to shoot that cannon.
Interesting take - I agree with some (Shining Blade is phenomenal / Shooshadoo, wtf were they smoking that day?) disagree with others (My DH, Adam Glambert, looks stunning while beating the sh!t out of things with Moot) but overall a good watch.
And definitely appreciate the effort so I could check out the effects/footfalls; I toyed with upgrading Dreamer to Chuka but after watching this, underwhelming is a really apt description and think I'll just move straight on to Aurene's Wing; so thanks for putting this together for an easy visual reference 😁
Favourite: Xiuquatl, fit most characters using a scepter and overall balance effect, unique dragon following you and kinda linked to Utopia.
Least Favourite: Flames of War, I don't like that cake.
Zar.1069
Favourite: Shining Blade
Least favourite: Eureka
beladril.3650
Cool video thanks man.
My personal opinion about Claw of Khan-Ur is that it's cool because of the large stowing animation, which many legendaries don't have. Yeah it could be shinier though
First off - I love the video ^^ The reasoning behind your choices, especially the predator is clearly not objective, but it still helped me figuring out what I want and like c:
Second - There are community chests?!
I want that fricking GW2-Shirt Outfit for ages, since I started out playing later and I really enjoy the shirt skins.
My top legendary is bolt - just like how it goes with the attunement sword effects of my weaver and I like the dreamer the least, because it annoys me alot.
