Guild Wars 2

For those of you that don’t know, conjured weapons for elementalists drop on the ground for ANYONE to use. This means that in any populated area, someone ALWAYS takes it! Of course 99% of the time I want to use it for myself but there is ALWAYS one jerk!

Random players SHOULD NOT be able to steal my skills. Can you steal a mesmer’s staff skills and start pumping out clones? Can you steal an engineer’s grenade kit and start spamming grenades? No you can’t, so why should people be able to do this to the elementalist?

Please fix this immediately!

Actually the conjure skills spawn two weapons each and you equip one automatically.

yeah, which is why I’m one of these jerks on my mesmer gladly taking any weapon with decent AOE skills

How does an elementalist not know one spawns in their hands?

Duh, I know one spawns in my hand, but it only has 15 charges (25 traited), but it runs out pretty quickly.

It doesn’t change the fact that this NEEDS TO BE FIXED. This should be priority #1 for A.net right now.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Calm down, Atomicmew – this is utterly and entirely on purpose. Conjured weapons are one for you, one for your team. It’s MEANT to be that way, there is nothing to fix.

Play a Warrior and deal with banner theft some time.

I’m sorry if you’re serious on that sentence, but I can’t take you seriously.

pretty sure its meant to be that way

The purpose of the second one dropping is so someone else can use it. If someone picks up your conjured weapon then it’s functioning exactly how ANet meant it to.

There is nothing to be fixed, expect for your insane selflessness.

admittedly i do get bothered about this sometimes, it should be restricted to party members

its immensely frustrating when i drop a fiery greatsword and then the random who picks it up jumps in the water straight after

Works as intended, this is a team game. Next thing you’ll complain that your buffs apply to nearby players too…

Someone else who doesn’t understand the functionality of those spells. It’s for anyone to pick up and use as they see fit. You already get the benefit of the conjured weapon, the one of the ground is just a bonus to anyone who grabs it.

Most of the time, the person who picks it up, probably doesn’t even want it. They’re just trying to pick up loot. They’d drop it for someone else, if that were possible, but have to just swap weapons, and it disappears.

Pretty half-baked idea, if you ask me…
