The Sunrise is gorgeous. Painting the world with light as I slash through my enemies looks fantastic. Wielding the thing is a joy. Crafting one comes with a caveat though. Or a couple actually. First of all – and this should be news to no one – getting your precursor is a pain. Hundreds or thousands of blades down the Zommoros’ well, I gained nothing but frustration and burnout. Farming gold and buying it on AH ended up the only reasonable way of gaining Dawn, and that did not feel legendary at all. I really like the way they’re going with in the expansion, precursors being gained from collections and all. The precursor aside, I think the crafting was quite fun. I think the mix of exploring, PvP and farming was pretty much on spot. The karma is perhaps a tad too easy now compared to the days of Orr, which in turn raises the relative price of T6 mats, but all in all it was quite okay.

Another thing that got me thinking was poor Belindas’s beautiful greatsword, reintroduced to the store just as I crafted my own blade. What I would really love would be using Sunrises legendary effect (painting the world!) with another blade. How awesome would it if you could give Belinda’s sword the texture from Sunrises blade? Or if you could make your Tequatl bow shoot Kuzku’s flowers? Right now it feels slightly a waste using those cool transmutations when you have a legendary. It could be so much better.
