Are Conjures good in WvW?
I have not used my ele in WvW yet, but most people who don’t pick up the conjure weapons probably do not even see them.
Situationally.
Fiery Greatsword has excelent mobility and some good attacks.
Earth Shield’s pull can bring enemies down from walls or pull enemies together for allies to AoE.
Lightning Hammer provides a second Static Field use, and a leap finisher (mm, dazes). It provides better mobility than just sticking with staff and if you have high crit damage it can put up some decent numbers, too. Not to mention, knocking people off cliffs is hilarious.
Ice Bow’s stun is nasty and the blizzard is pretty damaging. If you’re a condition freak, you get +20% condition duration (useful if used with another utility skill that provides conditions).
Fire Axe also has a leap finisher and some fire fields, but I’ve honestly never used it.
I have used fiery great sword a few times in keep offense and for mobility. its considerably faster than a runbuff alone.
raining fire on low walls but the sword cast itself is a range 1200 burn.
WvW is more about the aoe. specifically ranged aoe.
axe is small group or single target.
I will sometimes use Flame Axe for the burning retreat and you’ll really see the health bar drop with it’s 1 skill.

From what ive heard, the Ice Bow’s volley is very effective at taking down enemy siege.
Noone good uses conjures because:
1) they lock out your 20 skills and the 5 skill you gain aren’t any better.
2) they consume a valuable utility slot
Flamesword is a GREAT tool for taking down rams. The #3 whirlwind ability does 3k damage to a ram from behind the door. And there’s still meteor shower to add to that.
The Ice bow’s volley is exceptional at killing siege equipment as well.

D/D ele in fire using 3+4, switch to fire axe hit 5-4-3 in those orders and you’ll have 4 fire fields and a fire aura… now if I was specced into condition damage this’d be awesome but I’m not and its still fun.
