Is it a legendary dagger or its precursor?

If it's a new legendary dagger, it looks very poor. I hope this dagger you showed in the trailer was a precursor.

that would have been the legendary.in old nightfall gw1 style

but you don't know what the effects are. just like the hammer wich in the trailer looked lame but with the nighttime effects looked awesome

This dagger is lore heavy artifact: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Claw_of_the_Khan-Ur

That was probably the legendary, yes. Bear in mind that they didn't show any effects apart from the draw one. Well, at least this means ill be keeping my incinerator...

Yeah, I wasn't impressed that much with them. Look too much like the HoM Centurions Claw Daggers. Was hoping for something more transforming.

I like them, and it's obviously the legendary (draw animation).

I was wondering that as well, since it doesnt give any arm-effect, wich every gen2 weapon does.

Disagree with one of the best since I also think they are kind of ugly. I prefer more transforming weapons like the arcane rifle and order of whispers daggers over plain simple designs.

It was being used by an Asura. Weapons used by Asura never look truly impressive: the details dissapear in the smaller size, the effects are often less noticeable, there is more clipping, etc.

Similar design from hall of monument achievement centurion claw that GW1 players can reskin for free in game.

I know the content is asura themed but you don't showcase new legendaries on asuras. Charr would be the best class since their weapons are bigger and more visible

For those that haven't seen.

I expect some juggling with this dagger

Hmmm. Considering how tiny Asura weapons are in general, I'd reckon those might actually be really big when used on other races.

Or so I hope. Less dinky dagger, more awesome claw weapon.

I would plead, AGAIN: please make weapons on Asura bigger. I understand they are a small race, but still, the weapon models are too small to see. Please give them some extra love, so they shine as in other races. More size, special texturing, I don't know, something! I would personally make them a bit thicker but not much longer, and change the angles of use in the animation so they stop clipping the ground.

The problem with that is the weapons would then look out of proportions and weird. They would become comical looking if they increased the size anymore.

You want to play a race with the hardest to see animations, this is the price to pay.

I wish more blades in this game looked like they have sharp edges. Maybe it's just motion blur in the video but that thing looks butter knifed edged to me. Charr are master metalsmiths, I'd expect the legendary Claw to hold gleamingly lethal menace. /shrugs ... At least I can keep focusing on ... heh ... the focus legendary I have desultorily started.

It looks more like a puncture weapon than a slashing one: the spikes looks like they'd pierce something fierce!

I hope it's neither. It's just an ugly looking blade. We haven't gotten a legendary dagger since launch, and likely won't see another for years, I wish it were more of a. . . dagger, like a handle with a pointy big sticking out one end.

Agreed, I HATE how dinky some of their weapons look, although it's more an issue with GS and hammer. The big problem there is that their legs are shorter than other races relative to their bodies, so to keep the weapons from dragging on the ground they made them even shorter still relative to their height. The better solution would be that instead of having them sit diagonally across their backs like on other races, they should have mounted the weapons horizontally across the shoulders. That way they could stick out far to the sides and end up clipping with things that way, but who cares?

While yes, i can see why they used an Asura to model the weapon considering this next chapter looks all about inquest, but its not a good race to show weapon or armor models. The dagger itself looks quite underwhelming but as others above have said, so did the hammer. So im going to reserve judgement until the episode is released. I guess people wanted something large and glowy like warglaives of azzinoth. Everyone has their own tastes, cant please them all.

This dagger might be cooler that it seems at the first glance. Watch the trailer in slow motion (0.25). When it stops spinning it extends a little.

Dunno, it looks a lot like a slight modified version of Centurions Claw. Which does disappoint me, cause regardless of how nice or ugly the legendaries where. They where always unique stand-alone skins.
