Pendraton.3572 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 So instead of moving legendary gears with bank/shared inventory, we'll need to remove the cosmetic infusions from each template of a character then put them inside bank/shared inventory before slotting them again on another character (ranting because I used to move legendary trinkets with the infusions and now I'll need twice/thrice the shared inventorie slots 🙂 + losing time removing/slotting infus) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxoglanis.1904 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 just get more infusions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The fact it rips out the infusions and you have to put them on again makes it much harder to share them across characters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Infusions are not legendary and most cosmetic ones can be sold on the TP or mailed because they do not bind. You will have to unequip and trade them as normal. Edited July 13, 2021 by Eloc Freidon.5692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this, I simply had my legendary rings/trinkets in shared inventory and could double click to swap with the rings/trinkets that were on the character. Only updating the stats if needed. Now, its unequip, move all those items to shared or to the bank, go to the next character, equip, put on infusions (from shared or bank), set stats. Hardly more efficient or helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeafGuy.4519 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Maybe for you, I don't think a lot of us keep transfering infusions like you do. I do think anet should give us an option to upgrade an infusion to legendary status maybe so we can use expensive cosmetic infusions across characters if needed. (Since the ability to do so is already there, just tedious). I can see it becomming a thing down the road. Before anyone says that'll tank the infusion market, I really doubt your average Joe is spending thousands of gold for the same infusions to be worn across different characters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolanda.1568 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Same problem as OP here. I share 3 infusions through all my characters. Before it wasn't much of an issue. I just placed my Legendary ring in the Shared Inventory slot. And I double click to equip again on another character The process now is just much longer to equip them one-by-one manually and from the H tab. I can't simply double click from Inventory like I used to. Not to mention to remove them one-by-one again if I want to use it on another character. I think the Legendary Armory idea is great and works fine as it is, but for the people that use Infusions throughout all characters it is not convenient. I hope Anet will think about this soon. inb4 ''Just buy more Infusions": it's a Chak Egg Sac and the two Moto infusions, so no, I can't just simply buy another one for all my characters.

TheDeafGuy.4519 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Make cosmetic infusions universal like the armory or be able to wardrobe regular +9 agony infusions. (Up to how many actually infusions you have on the account ex: 2 chak infusions means you can only wardrobe up to 2 +9 agony infusions on a different character) Edited July 13, 2021 by TheDeafGuy.4519 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoda.4619 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Swapping legendaries on the fly is so much harder now since you have to reselect everything....stats, infusions, sigils previously you at least could have the legendary in your inventory and one template and hot swap it. They should make it if you equip a different legendary weapon it takes the stats and the upgrades of the current legendary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourningstar.7309 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 This seems like a major oversight. I use Aurora, Vision, and Ad Infinitum in shared slots with some cosmetic infusions to shuttle them around, and this new system makes that infinitely less convenient. I see two solutions. Allow items to be withdrawn from the armory and they will behave the way they used to, in exchange for not being shared across all characters. Or, if an item is placed into the armory with an infusion, sigil, etc., make that upgrade accessible for any other item in a separate template. Otherwise this is a downgrade for using items in this fashion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancho.8750 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The Build Storage feature would have been quite useful if it was for legendary items, so you pop a legendary with infusions and and whatnot into a shared slot across all characters on the account . It actually works like that between templates and you can copy it on the same character on all item templates, it just needs to have a shared slot for the whole account so you can copy it.

Destrumona.3794 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) This was my exact concern and I was really really hoping that they would have thought about this. Pretty disappointed. Legendary armory is great but taking away the actual physical item is not. Letting players choose to keep legs either in armory or in shared slot/bank, would have made more sense. I would rather be able to use weapons across characters and keep Aurora in my shared slot. Plus I was looking forward to having a legendary amulet so more of my characters could use my koda's blessing, but it looks like that won't work out the way I'd hoped. The other option of course is to create an infusion effect wardrobe, which I would have expected they would have rolled out with the armory if they had any plans to do so. Now your only option is to either manually remove a cosmetic infusion every time you swap characters, or keep them in ascended pieces, which means you have to spend an extractor if you want to put it in gear with different stats. (Which also takes way too much time.) Edited July 13, 2021 by Destrumona.3794 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf.9150 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I was really looking forward to the Legendary Armory..... I have a number of legendaries I share amongst my characters... Staffs, Swords, etc.... Since most of my builds are power based it's easy for them to share stuff. But now instead they have to share infusions and upgrades? That means Nevermore, which took up one shared slot in my inventory, is now replaced with two infusions and two upgrades? This feels like a gigantic step backwards to me and makes me want to replace the legendaries with ascendeds that look like legendaries. At least they won't lose their infusions and upgrades when they go into the shared bank. I hope this is something that ANet will address. It feels ... broken. The legendary armory should make me happy to use my legendaries, not make me want to stop using them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimike.1693 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Being rich has never sucked so much lol. Makes me want to get a full ascended set and just skin over it and put all the infusions / upgrades on there. Armory is way to clunky & slow if you are trying to quickly swap weapons in between fights. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf.9150 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Exactly my thought as well (what slimike posted).

Quench.7091 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 As a WvW player, who has little interest in fractals, I have no complaints. I do think that people who only do world PvE might want another way for a+5 stat infusions, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of WvW player as well, but now I can't 3 blasts from inventory as Firebrand without a new template (if you have a legendary weapon in the rotation of 2 Staff => 2 Hammer => 5 Focus => Staff, instead of going back to inventory and replace the weapon used to blast it will just go inside armory in blank state) I'm already using 6 templates on guardian (pve/wvw/roaming/heal/condi/power...) so i can't easily do it and that's annoying, like some said above I made an ascended staff instead of using my legendary one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You specifically said using a weapon in your inventory; that's not weapon-swapping. You also didn't mention out-of-combat, or even what you're doing it for (which i'd hazard a guess is buffing). Seeing as weapon-swapping outside of combat is meaningless aside from pre-buffing, the implication is that you are in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
