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
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. TH-cam would be so inconsistent without you ❤️❤️
@@jeremybroadbent8997 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
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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 ?
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
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..
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. ❤
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
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
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
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
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.
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...
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
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. :)
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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
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 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.
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
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
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.
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
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
I thought it was a bit weird you explain Chuka and Champawat the way you do, and then put it in C. Then directly after remark on how boring and plain Rodgort is and put it at B. This is a controversial video for sure though lol simple on Twilight being so low. EDIT: Then mentioning Exordiums animations as distracting, which is the whole point of the sword! If you had said that the horse noise was pleasant I would have thought this a troll video lol.
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
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
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.
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
Eureka is one of the most underappreciated legendaries. I think it's great.. at least B-tier IMO. The exploding mace head when being stowed is awesome. Unlike a lot of legendaries It looks great on your hip and doesn't clip with your armor or cape most of the time. Favorite legendary: HOPE Least favorite legendary: Flames of War (Balthazar birthday cake) Xeri.6290
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
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.
You are brave to do a tier list for legendary weapons because it’s such a subjective experience. My list would be completely different. Favorites are Binding of Ipos, Xoquatl (spelling incorrect), Chuka & Champwat and Twilight, worst is Quip, Moot, and Dreamer. AmigaDave.5623
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.
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
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
Favorite: Verderach cause how rare and ridiculous it is Least: Claw of the Khan-Ur, other than some of its effects the weapon skin itself is like an exotic or something Kirros.1284
I can see we have very very different opinions on legendarys. I agree on ipos, but for me, the dreamer despite the sound, is as legendary as it can get. You put rod above so many, much better. Hehe the nevermore comment. Raven flys off... looks closer.... the raven actually get consumed by the staff
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
the harp isnt used to bash things, and the lighter is burning things, you draw the line at immersion breaking so shallow that anything is, its a fantasy game some things work still
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
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.
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.
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.
"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
Score based on 1-10 points per category Aesthetics within class: sincere or troll (points counted twice) Animation & Effects (Points counted twice) Lore connectivity Theme follows through appearance, animation and lore Works with classes that most trend to use that weapon Everything connects to that specific weapon (ie: Shining blade is a sword, not a torch. That works.) Pre-cursor skins provide bonus value Verdarach 67 No surprise. Scored super high in every category Sharur 66 I'm much more impressed with Sharur than Vallun in every category Eternity 65 Makes sense though I'm not in love with it Aztec Scepter 64 Another high scorer across all categories Flameseeker 64 A surprise. I personally don't give a crap about it, but it scored super high Kraitkin 63 I like it, but surprised it placed this high Hope 61 Another surprise. I'm not in love withi it, but it scored. Shining Blade 59 Surprised it didn't rate higher Eureka 58 Pre-cursor value helped a bit. I don't dislike as much as Vallun but still surprised it rated THIS high. Twilight 56 Sunrise 56 Predator 56 Another high scorer that I personally never cared for. Minstrel 55 It's Aesthetics hurt it, but otherwise performed well and it got extra points for the toy Quip 55 The face hurt it in aesthetics, as it doesn't "read" visually, otherwise scored strong. Binding of Ipos 54 A would-be fave except that dumb troll scooby doo claw, on an otherwise sincere theme really hurt it. Exordium 53 Surprised this milk-toast leg got this high. Lore and general cohesion helped on points Kudzu 53 Incin 50 Not a fan, but overall and pre-cursor value helped score points Astra-axe 49 Dreamer 49 Scored within it's class AS a troll weapon Shooshadoo 49 Same as Dreamer and pre-cursor value points helped. (template "flip book") Bifrost 48 The only legendary I've made, surprised it didn't score a bit higher Bolt 48 While animation and other scores helped the "fence" aesthetic really hurt Bolt's score Shark-Spear 48 I'm not fond of it personally, but it scored well over-all Juggernaut 47 I like Jugg, but it scored low on animation Claw 46 Same as Jugg, I actually like this but scored low on animation and middled elsewhere. Frenzy 45 Like this much more than Vallun, but lore score hurt it Chuka & 45 Surprised this scored this high. Base design is trash imho The moot 44 Scored high in troll class, but lore, class trend and specific weapon scores killed final tally Pharus 41 Scored low on aesthetics and animation but lore and it's user neutrality gave it value score elsewhere hms Whatever 41 Animation and lore scores high, but it's troll aesthetics within a sincere theme tanked it Frostfang 38 Boring. scored low in everything except lore. Not enough Nevermore 37 Scored high on animation and theme but preposterous bulky shape on a non-troll theme killed it. Honestly: it's not even a staff. Meteorlogicus 34 Similar to Nevermore, scored high on lore and theme but bulky shape destroyed points where they matter. Cake Lamp 33 Pre-cursor value was super high, but that couldn't save it Howler 33 Not surprised. Very boring. Performed abysmally across all categories except lore Rodgort 29 A slight surprise, since I love HSR and Trogdor. But it Scored terrible across the board. (Forgive Spelling and grammar.)
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.

This wasn’t a hate comment. I enjoyed the video was just having a laugh about our taste differences
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
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
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.

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.

Did someone say EXODIA?
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
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 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
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.
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.
My favorite: during The Predator when the dude in the back is just casually gliding around @ 8:58
I've had Nevermore for at least a year now, and just learned today there's an extra effect on crit 😂
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 ?
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
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..
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. ❤
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
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
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
flame seeker prophesy is still my favorite legendary by a pretty wide margin.
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
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.
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
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
Justifications for placements were all over the place
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.
The Minstel is good because you get a legendary instrument with it so you can be a Bard.
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
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
Predators original sound was so much better then what it is now
Your tier list is the difference between the journey of creating/crafting a legendary and buying one off the market.
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!
Favorite : Exordium
Least favorite : Sharur

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.
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.
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.

beladril.3650
Cool video thanks man.
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
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.
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
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 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.
Most Favorite: Binding of Ipos. Least Favorite: Quip. Ovark.2514
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
thats pretty cool, i swear when the model was showing me the animations they said something like that but i couldnt see it myself lol
@@Vallun old comment but the reason for this is that the effect is client-side :(
favorite: exordium
least: quip
Rosethorn.1670
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
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.
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
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
I thought it was a bit weird you explain Chuka and Champawat the way you do, and then put it in C. Then directly after remark on how boring and plain Rodgort is and put it at B. This is a controversial video for sure though lol simple on Twilight being so low.
EDIT: Then mentioning Exordiums animations as distracting, which is the whole point of the sword! If you had said that the horse noise was pleasant I would have thought this a troll video lol.
having peasant tastes is something youll grow out of
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
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
Cool video and insights Vallun
Favorite: binding of ipos
Least favorite: bolt
tnthi.8945
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.
i feel so personally attacked by your eureka and sharur placements, being my two favourite leggos xD
Yeah, Sharur is easily my second favorite legendary. Too bad it's not used to much in PvE, atleast I can run around with it on my Rev in WvW.
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
Eureka is one of the most underappreciated legendaries. I think it's great.. at least B-tier IMO. The exploding mace head when being stowed is awesome. Unlike a lot of legendaries It looks great on your hip and doesn't clip with your armor or cape most of the time.
Favorite legendary: HOPE
Least favorite legendary: Flames of War (Balthazar birthday cake)
Xeri.6290
Gen 1 greatswords are so good imo that I made my main choicec around the fact, that one day I want to make them...
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
vallun dude how you put an underwater weapon above exordium
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.
Favorite is tied between Juggernaut and Shining Blade, most despised is Quip and Dreamer. Holgarr.3957
You are brave to do a tier list for legendary weapons because it’s such a subjective experience. My list would be completely different. Favorites are Binding of Ipos, Xoquatl (spelling incorrect), Chuka & Champwat and Twilight, worst is Quip, Moot, and Dreamer. AmigaDave.5623
Most favorite: Exordium
Least favorite: Sunrise
maxime.7984
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.
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
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
never more and C&C together with twilight and sunrise are by far the best leg weapons for me
Most favorite: Shining Blade
Least favorite: Flames of War
Sunrized.2719
My favorite is the HMS because of the sound. Its so satisfying to shoot that cannon.
Favorite: Verderach cause how rare and ridiculous it is
Least: Claw of the Khan-Ur, other than some of its effects the weapon skin itself is like an exotic or something
Kirros.1284
I can see we have very very different opinions on legendarys. I agree on ipos, but for me, the dreamer despite the sound, is as legendary as it can get. You put rod above so many, much better.
Hehe the nevermore comment. Raven flys off... looks closer.... the raven actually get consumed by the staff
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
I feel like the durability of a disco ball doesn't really matter considering there's one that's literally just a lighter, an ice axe, and a harp
the harp isnt used to bash things, and the lighter is burning things, you draw the line at immersion breaking so shallow that anything is, its a fantasy game some things work still
while I personally don't agree with all of your outcomes I do like your reasoning, nice vid!
Favorite:kudzu
Least favorite:Dreamer (I still hear it in my sleep)
Havic.4798
Finally, someone agrees with me Flameseeker is top tier!

Highheavens.2739
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
I also think the shining blade is the best legendary. I reaaaaalllly hate the dreamer. Great vid
Masidius.5943
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.
Fav. Tie between Binding, and Hope
Least. Dreamer
Haldier.5786
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.
Fav: Flameseekers, Badest: Flames of War, darknetwork.8259
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.
Most favorite: Sunrise

"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
Score based on 1-10 points per category
Aesthetics within class: sincere or troll (points counted twice)
Animation & Effects (Points counted twice)
Lore connectivity
Theme follows through appearance, animation and lore
Works with classes that most trend to use that weapon
Everything connects to that specific weapon (ie: Shining blade is a sword, not a torch. That works.)
Pre-cursor skins provide bonus value
Verdarach 67 No surprise. Scored super high in every category
Sharur 66 I'm much more impressed with Sharur than Vallun in every category
Eternity 65 Makes sense though I'm not in love with it
Aztec Scepter 64 Another high scorer across all categories
Flameseeker 64 A surprise. I personally don't give a crap about it, but it scored super high
Kraitkin 63 I like it, but surprised it placed this high
Hope 61 Another surprise. I'm not in love withi it, but it scored.
Shining Blade 59 Surprised it didn't rate higher
Eureka 58 Pre-cursor value helped a bit. I don't dislike as much as Vallun but still surprised it rated THIS high.
Twilight 56
Sunrise 56
Predator 56 Another high scorer that I personally never cared for.
Minstrel 55 It's Aesthetics hurt it, but otherwise performed well and it got extra points for the toy
Quip 55 The face hurt it in aesthetics, as it doesn't "read" visually, otherwise scored strong.
Binding of Ipos 54 A would-be fave except that dumb troll scooby doo claw, on an otherwise sincere theme really hurt it.
Exordium 53 Surprised this milk-toast leg got this high. Lore and general cohesion helped on points
Kudzu 53
Incin 50 Not a fan, but overall and pre-cursor value helped score points
Astra-axe 49
Dreamer 49 Scored within it's class AS a troll weapon
Shooshadoo 49 Same as Dreamer and pre-cursor value points helped. (template "flip book")
Bifrost 48 The only legendary I've made, surprised it didn't score a bit higher
Bolt 48 While animation and other scores helped the "fence" aesthetic really hurt Bolt's score
Shark-Spear 48 I'm not fond of it personally, but it scored well over-all
Juggernaut 47 I like Jugg, but it scored low on animation
Claw 46 Same as Jugg, I actually like this but scored low on animation and middled elsewhere.
Frenzy 45 Like this much more than Vallun, but lore score hurt it
Chuka & 45 Surprised this scored this high. Base design is trash imho
The moot 44 Scored high in troll class, but lore, class trend and specific weapon scores killed final tally
Pharus 41 Scored low on aesthetics and animation but lore and it's user neutrality gave it value score elsewhere
hms Whatever 41 Animation and lore scores high, but it's troll aesthetics within a sincere theme tanked it
Frostfang 38 Boring. scored low in everything except lore. Not enough
Nevermore 37 Scored high on animation and theme but preposterous bulky shape on a non-troll theme killed it. Honestly: it's not even a staff.
Meteorlogicus 34 Similar to Nevermore, scored high on lore and theme but bulky shape destroyed points where they matter.
Cake Lamp 33 Pre-cursor value was super high, but that couldn't save it
Howler 33 Not surprised. Very boring. Performed abysmally across all categories except lore
Rodgort 29 A slight surprise, since I love HSR and Trogdor. But it Scored terrible across the board.
(Forgive Spelling and grammar.)
Ya lost me at 3:12. Quip, the most annoying and immersion breaking joke of a weapon in the game, is b-tier?
Fav: Shining Blade
Least: Candle holder
