Hecksler Der Henker.9280 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I agree with you. The torch looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sznurek.8791 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 And I think it's personally too much. Why would I farm legendary if I can get a more epic looking skin with more animations on bltc for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, people have been making the opposite argument about BLTC skins being missed opportunities if they only have something more, for years. XD To me though I don't mind. After having made multiple legendaries, it's nice to be able to have something cool I won't have to spend countless hours on with boring collections. Could end up spending what you would of on building a legendary to try and get it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliamRationem.5172 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Is that what that flaming feather skin with the phoenix animation is? If so, I love it! Really nice work! Totally want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with this, and i have the thing. There needs to a be a line..and i dont think having weapon skins for sale that are legendaries is a good idea. Seriously, its better than the gen 2 Torch, and thats an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It's amazing! But the reason I will NOT try to get it though is that hideous raptor. ? I really HATE anything asociated with SAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaniaxs.4519 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I got BLTP chest key yesterday and saved it for after the update and just in my first try i got the skin! Its so cool and i love the animation of the phoenix rising up Sadly i dun have a char that uses torchs xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortrialus.3062 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If they made the Phoenix stay out similar to Xiuquatl it would be a top 5 legendary weapon despite not being legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I love that we can get legendary looking SKINS in gemstore/chests. That you can get a look of something that you pay gems for. As I'm not that picky with changeable stats that costs a fortune to craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yeah I think it's a stunning skin, but it puts things like Rodgort to shame and that should never be the case with lockbox items looking (subjectively) nicer than Legendaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gen 2 Torch is seriously the worst legendary ever created. I think I've seen it one time since it was released, so it's not too hard to be better than that thing.

Hashberry.4510 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Most legendaries are not hugely attractive for the effort, imo. I think better looking skins are fine, the game already has several. The functionality of legendaries is the important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoosh.2718 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Now.. rework the legedary torch Rodgort to create a dragon around you that bursts into flames, provide a better flame aura up the arm that looks like an inferno. BLTC skins should not get draw effects, you take away too much from Legendary weapons making them just a 'poor mans' black lion skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion.9752 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 When it comes down to it I believe ANET has to but decent looking items into the BLC to be able to sell keys. While the skin may be nice its still not able to switch stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I think the feather is fine. Legendaries still have their footfall, unique throw animations/projectiles and other effects, together with the legendary functionality of stat swapping. It's completely normal that newer skins will sometimes look better than old ones, it's the same in many games. Even in LoL many old legendary skins are lackluster compared to some of the new regular rare skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo.6140 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I wish the phoenix would stay out permanently after unsheathing the weapon, similar to xiuquatl. How awesome would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Got the feather out of a Black Lion Chest. Now I am pondering which of my characters is going to get a torch build. I am not a condition fan in general, but the skin looks too good to let it rot in my wardrobe. If it was a sword skin, it would be a lot easier. But now I have at least another challenge again. I switch my stats no that often. If I had to choose, I'd rather pick that skin and a regular ascended weapon instead of crafting a legendary weapon. Transmutation Charges are not a problem and stat-swapping is acceptable for me. Was never a fan of the footprint-effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in LoL many old legendary skins are lackluster compared to some of the new regular rare skins. True, but the acquistion is exclusively through real money in LoL. But I see what you're saying. And, nothing stop ANet from sprinkling some actual updates to old legendaries that don't drastically change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memoranda.9386 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 22 keys and not even an uncommon #RIP my gold. That's the price you pay, and risk you take, though. Hahah. This is a great skin, and it sucks that's it's only in the BLTC chests. Would've spent real monies to insta-buy this instead of converting gold -> gems. P.S. accepting key donations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% support this. But it should be part dragon, part man with a beefy arm. It should be a dragon man.... Or maybe he was just was just a dragon. But he was still Rodgort!!!! :sunglasses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of the Statuettes; thank you, though! Had just hoped to score with a bit of luck this time around to not have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GummyBearSummoner.7941 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I like how beautiful it is & it’s something that I can actually get. It’s the closest I’ll ever get to a legendary. I don’t have the time or patience to craft one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
