Guild Wars 2

There is a minor problem with Conjure Weapon spells.

They have set Stats that cannot be changed.

If these stats are too weak compare to items they become obsolete/situational, if they are too high they become overpowered/mandatory. In addition, stats of conjured weapons cannot be altered to tailor them for builds.

A simple way to improve the situation is providing 4 additional equipment slot for elementalists. These slots can only equip the type of weapon that can be conjured. Equipment in these slots are then “transmogrified” into conjured weapon when a conjuration spell is cast. The conjured weapon will have the same stats (including proc properties, if any) as the template, but their appearances and projectile effects are unchanged.

If a template slot is left empty. the conjuring spell creates a “white” version of the weapon with no stats.

This would allow A-net to update the game without worrying about re-balacing the conjuring spells with items each time.

In theory they would not have so much trouble , if they maintain the top stats of the gear still static.

If this game would really keep a lot of progression up , then yeah ,but lets hope for the best and this will not become wow like when it comes to gear farming.

It’s also a problem in PVP where proc effect cannot be added to conjured weapons, Making them inferior to other weapons.

That is because you see them like weapons , which they are not , they are skills.

Pretty much like eng kits are skills , they cant custom that either , and not like ele , without kits they got a lot less skills.

Conjured weapons inactivate equipped weapons. Saying they are skill make no sense in that regard.

So … pretty much all transformations are weapons , kits are weapons , pretty much anything that changes you 5 equipped weapons skill , which is a hell lot of stuff…

are NOT skills , they are all weapons , and thus now by this logic we must be able to edit their stats.

Hell now i agree with you … Anet will have a lot of balancing to do.

Anything that disable stats of your equipped weapon is a weapon. You are physically swapping out your weapons for these kits. If they are not weapons, why are your weapons disabled ?

This can also apply to engineers, but I don’t play engineers enough to know.
