Ulysses.2058 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Since the moment they updated Sohothin I've always thought it would make for an amazing legendary weapon. What do you think? As of immersion/lore breaking, we already can make the claw of the Khan-Ur and the Shining Blade, so that's kind of broken already. Spoiler: also, the instance where you use it in PoF was amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think it's still too similar to the Fiery Dragon Sword and wouldn't stand out in the same way other legendaries do. I looked it up on the Wiki and had to open the Fiery Dragon Sword page as well, to remind myself what that looked like so I could see the differences. Comparing the two side-by-side the differences are obvious, but if you'd just shown me the new Sohothin model and asked me which one it was I wouldn't have known for sure. Add on the fact that I already have the Fiery Dragon Sword skin and can apply it to any sword for free but I rarely do because the effect gets annoying after a while and I don't think I'd ever want to make a legendary version. BTW they've explained the 'lore break' of having legendary versions of weapons seen elsewhere in the game: they're replicas created by Zommoros in the Mystic Forge. I think it was hinted at before, but it's confirmed in the Mythwright Gambit raid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting from Sohothin having an actual blade, to the effects, the Fiery Dragon Sword seems like a noticeably much simpler version. I do have the FDS skin too, and everytime I see Rytlock wielding Sohothin I feel jealous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keykey.9182 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sohothin's hilt is slightly different than Fiery dragon sword but overall they look pretty much the same . You want it you play GW1 it's been part of the legacy reward for years. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidit.7108 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I wouldn't mind since the skin is now probably not as valuable as the utility a legendary weapon creates. I'd also like Legendary Caladbolg but I think that ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did when ANet released the Knight of the Thorn story that gives you caladbolg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fny.4502 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Personally I wouldn't be interested, because well... I find it downright ugly. But then I'm boring, I like swords that look like actual swords.⚔️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you already have the skin, you only need to play GW1 ANET does not need to put it again, Khanur(4 blades+jewels) is a total rework its not even remotely close to Centurion Claw (2 blades no jewel, ugliest hilt ever).

Arnox.5128 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Magdaer you can also pretty much already get. I'm using it right now on my Ascalonian Mage girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 No, I've no interest in this. The difference between the FDS and Sohothin is minimal at best, unlike the two Claws that conversely are only have the same general shape, so its hardly worth the effort to try to get when I've had the FDS for years.

Dawanarth.4601 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Aren't the Legendary also about the Aura A Ghostly weapon that turn you translucent/Foefire like would be work-able and look nice. Lore-wise I would say maybe turn it in a dagger as a reforged weapon. With King Adelbern's Crown floating over the head Sohothin would be less interesting as there are already a Fire themed weapon (Gen 1 Dagger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If Caladborge is not legendary, a weapon with far more significance to the games story, Sohothin should not be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were around when that dagger was released and actually observed the forums, you'd know that there were a ton of complaints about how similar the Claw daggers looked and how ANet was 'devaluing HoM skins' with releasing it.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fiery_Dragon_Sword#/media/File:Fiery_Dragon_Sword.jpg vshttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sohothin#/media/File:Sohothin.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawanarth.4601 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sohothin is too similar to already present sure, but there is also the Aura, fire step (Or Foefire if we take Magdaer), Rolling Dragons around the arms/back (Fire or Foefire)...

genjonah.1253 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I always am for more legendary options (as long as the path to them is still legendary), especially ones that have previously established lore to go with them. That being said, I probably wouldn’t take the time to build Sohothin, given the Fiery Dragon Sword I get for free. Maegdar? Ehhh, it would have to have some pretty cool animations to go with it, as I looooooove the Shining Blade (and Bolt, to a lesser extent) already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsel.2891 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) To me, Sohothin has a very nostalgic look, having played the original Guild Wars. Because of that fact, I also have access to the Fiery Dragon Sword skin through the Hall of Monuments, like a lot of players do. It's how Sohothin looked before they updated it. Add to that its appearance which is not on par with other legendary weapons, in my opinion. Far from it. Because of all of the above, I would not be interested in a Legendary Sohothin, unless it goes through a radical visual update, which wouldn't be Sohothin anymore, anyway.

Ulysses.2058 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 And would you people be ok if the FDS was updated with the new Sohothin model and effects? Or would that be too much for a GW reward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fact that Sohothin throughout its entire lifespan pre-PoF was just a Fiery Dragon Sword, this should have been the case since the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
