Any info on 2nd gen Legendary Longbow ?

[GenghisKhan.7842]

So I have two Legendaries - Twilight and Bolt - chose those two because GS and Sw were usable by many characters

I'd like to start building my next Legendary, and Longbow would be the best choice - War, dragonhunter, Ranger obv - but, Kudzu is awful and not matching the looks of any of them :s

 

Any info / rumor on 2nd gen Leg Longbow ?

 

Thank you !

One rumor that is probably false said it an warhorn were farthest along. Then the next release was dagger, so...

No hints of it yet, but I suspect it's going to be the next one. NOTE: That is **speculation** based on a percieved pattern releases, it's not a rumor.

Thanks for the feedback !

 

In this case I guess I will not commit to another Legendary weapon anytime soon

i hope it's not warhorn next... nobody even uses that weapon

Super true, I have seen really a handful of Leg warhorns around, no one feels like the necessity of another one

As far as I know they don't usually announce new legendaries ahead of time. We only get to find out about them when they're announcing the patch the weapon is in, so we never know which one is coming next or what it will be like.

 

But if you don't like Kudzu I'd definitely recommend waiting to see what the new one is like before making a decision. It might be a long wait if it turns out to be the last gen 2 legendary released, but even that is better than making a legendary you don't like and then finding a better one is released later on. (Although you also have to bear in mind that the new one may be just as unappealing to you.)

I hope we get scepter next :I.

It's likely that the Longbow will be 2nd to last released, with the GS being last. The reason being that they are highly desired weapons, and Arenanet is going to delay them as long as possible to keep people logging in.

They've surprised us in the past, but holding out on releasing highly desired items is the most profitable.

No hurry here

There is always the possibility to focus on entirely something else than Leg. Weaps

Scepter wouldn't be bad, Meteorlogicus really makes sense just for Ele :)

Longbow tho B)

That makes sense business-wise, but lemme still hope for the LB =)

Idk they released sword pretty early they may release longbow sooner than last second to last. Sword was highly anticipated.

 

*edit*

 

Although I have Kudzu, it was the first legendary I built four years ago so i've used it so much i'm sick of it so i'm chomping at the bit for a new gen 2 longbow. I sincerely hope they release it soon.

The Shining Blade was the 9th / 10th second generation legendary (it came out at the same time as Sharur). I wouldn't call that early.

Yeah but if you exclude things like Nevermore, Hope, Astralaria and Chuka and Champawat which weren't released on a reliable schedule (or were released several years ago at launch) it makes it the 5 or 6th 2nd generation weapon released on this schedule which is slightly better.
