Legendaries are the pinnacle of Guild Wars 2 . Everyone can get them, but not all of them are created equal. Some of them are epic looking, some epic sounding . Some are a grueling grind, others, not so much. Legendary gear doesn’t give you a statistical advantage over ascended gear, and it never, ever will. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get back on a gear treadmill at all when it comes to Legendaries. You never actually need one for any sort of progression, time, or anything of the like.
So, why get them in the first place?
First off, Legendary gear allows you to select your stat combinations at any time outside of combat. Need a bit more boon duration? Let’s move some stats to Diviner for now, then back to, say, Berserker afterwards. Secondly, any changes you make to the gear, from Agony infusions to runes and sigils, to even wardrobe changes, will be absolutely free to put in and take out. No more upgrade or infusion extractors or Transmution Charges for that piece!
Lastly, and probably the coolest thing about them, is that legendary gear goes into your legendary armory, which is shared between all of your characters on your account! If that character can equip it normally, you can pull right from your legendary armory and give it to them, without any cost. It is the ultimate quality of life, and very much worth getting the ones you’re interested in.
With all that said, which ones are the best? Here’s my short list of legendaries worth prioritizing:
By far the “easiest” legendary in the game. This Amulet is obtained via the Seasons of the Dragons achievement, which requires you to essentially complete all of the Living Stories, and related map achievements, from Season 2, all the way to Icebrood Saga.
