Brother.1504 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 With the legendary musical instruments getting “buffed” of sorts by granting users a playable musical toy, I thought the underwater legendaries deserved some attention. I’m thinking something simple like underwater speed boost when the legendary is equipped. With of course some sort of graphic to make it more epic.

starhunter.6015 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Swim infusions are for the speed boosts under water, since no legendary grants a speed boost without use of a existing skill. It would not make sense to grant a speed bonus/boost to just having a UW legendary. After all it would take away from the new infusions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My line of thought is to insentivise the benefit of having a legendary underwater weapon over an ascended weapon. Heck you can’t even look at the thing unless your underwater. Underwater speed boost seems reasonable as it would just add to swim speed infusion bonus. Any other suggestions? Or do you think the underwater legendaries are fine as is?

derd.6413 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The reason UW legendaries are undesirable is because UW weapons are situational at best. The only way to "fix" this is to allow something on land. which i doubt will ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 If there was more UW content, UW legys would be more relevant. I have nothing against adding shinyness but the swim speed upgrade is a nono. Legendaries can't have better stats in any way shape or form than ascended.

But in line with the legendary instruments getting a toy, how about something like an underwater combat tonic. You turn into a mermaid/merman or largo kinda thing. I’m proposing some kinda of extra incentive to make underwater legendaries better without unbalancing the combat abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UW toy skin/tonic would be a good incentive and would get a lot more people into the water even if just for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The UW legendaries do have an advantage: you can freely change their stats. Oh, and they have shinies. Unless something more cosmetically is being added to all legendaries, the UW ones shouldn't receive more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the legendary giving more combat benefits than non-legendary is a staple no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
