Nevermore's raven doesn't go away, his spirit goes into the staff :D

God I’ve never disagreed with a tier list so much 😂 this was a fun watch

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

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. 🤣🤣🤣

Don't forget the minstrel actually gives you an instrument to play on. Same as the gen 2 warhorn

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

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.

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

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

you gotta admit, noone's expected Gen 1 longbow to be above the greatswords xD

Hello does anyone know what’s the armor that the bolt showcasing character wearing?

32:42 Can anyone tell me the name of the armor skins or oufit on the character thats using the flameseeker prophecies shield?

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.

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.

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

vallun dude how you put an underwater weapon above exordium

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 ?

wonder how to use tier makers?! Eureka reason I turn off sound

My favorite: during The Predator when the dude in the back is just casually gliding around @ 8:58

so an oversized handcannon-ship is better than a vulcanic mace with a objectively cool aspect and arm effect? Tell me more pls.

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 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

Hi , what do you think about the new gen 3 legendarys, i don't know if a whole same theme set is a good idea...

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.

How do you feel about plush mounts?

Could you post the names of armor skins you have on the character when Bolt is presented at 15:30? That character looks amazing

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

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.

Hello:)! I was wondering what armor set your character during the HOPE review was! I enjoyed the video:)!

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

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 hey, what armor is that at 11:40? Looks amazing, awesome video too :D

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..

I've had Nevermore for at least a year now, and just learned today there's an extra effect on crit 😂

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.

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

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...

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.

Hello. Checking back in. Did we ever choose the winners for the Legendary giveaways?

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.

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

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

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

I'm counting on EOD to be mainly underwater content and force my underwater leggies to shoot up in value.

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

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

The Minstel is good because you get a legendary instrument with it so you can be a Bard.

"Probably doesn't deserve to be a legendary" Is how I'd describe the overwhelming majority of legendaries in this game, including trinkets and armor. And we all know why it is this way. Gotta update that cash shop, am I right?

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

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

flame seeker prophesy is still my favorite legendary by a pretty wide margin.

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

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.

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

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

22:10 Calling the Exordium animations not too interesting while showcasing one of the sickest animations ever in this game. Loved watching the video but goddamn if there isnt a lot of stuff i disagree with :p

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. ❤

Who is striking people with the scepter?

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

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. :)

Justifications for placements were all over the place

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

Your tier list is the difference between the journey of creating/crafting a legendary and buying one off the market.

HOPE would be S tier if the actual gun wasn't so horribly scrappy/ugly looking dissing on Exordium was a really bad take though, the entire theme of Exordium is a living sword that morphs based on the wielder's intention, and that is the biggest part of it's charm. It's infinitely more detailed than most legendaries, and if you were to hate anything on it, it should be silly overdesigned shape it has normal form and basic attack chain.

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

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.

what if the sails on the Divinity were a scope?

you FORGOT, if you crit with Pharus, there is a beam of light coming down on the enemy which was the MAIN part why i built it, to "reveal" thieves as ranger

It's good to see these. thx

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.

Favorite: The Binding of Ipos/Exordium Least Favorite: Flames of War ChaosIceKing.2345

For the Kudzu if you played world of warcraft vanilla, it could be seen as a homage to Rhok'delar a pretty sick looking bow back in 2004

Love the video! Really helps us newcomers/legendary-less players think about which ones are the coolest and worth investing time in ^^

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.

Predators original sound was so much better then what it is now

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!

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.

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

Is that Vaanss on the moot clip?

12:31 whats that outfit? i need it please

hey Vallun! about Nevermore, if you look closly the raven doesn't fly off but turns into the ghostly raven that surrounds the staff. my fav: Shining Blade least fav: Moot Mik.1894

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

It's... Somewhat difficult to understand how the Claw of the Khan-ur and the Flameseeker Prophecies got so vastly different ratings, considering the reasons given for both.

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

Favorite is definitely Sharur for me! For least favorite I gotta go with the Moot. AntonyGW.6103!!

Hi Vallun, interesting Tier List with some hot takes, I like to see it. If I had to pick just one favourite legendary in the game it would be Chuka & Champawat. It was my first legendary and I also love the red aura it gives you and the black spikes that cover your character a bit. Really aggressive looking weapon. My least favourite is honestly any of the joke legendaries, The Dreamer, Quip, The Moot, Shooshadoo. They would be 100% overskinned until the end of time. NovaCarry.7396

My top 3 are Astralaria, Pharus and Eternity (in its sunrise phase, the aura is crazy). All three look perfect on my white themed armor for my soulbeast. Also crafted Verdarach, don't really use it but find it badass. Sad to see Astralaria in B tier only, but it's subjective.

Favorite : Exordium Least favorite : Sharur Krizalio.2759

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

Can you do an "easiest" to make legendary weapon tier list please?? (Like how little time, crafting materials, and gold it takes to make)

Favorite Legendary: Shining Blade Least Favorite: (tie) Shooshadoo unless I can hear Dreamer

Most Favorite: Binding of Ipos. Least Favorite: Quip. Ovark.2514

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.
