Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, im thinking in making an Elementalist that focuses on a build with Conjured Weapons, mainly with Hammer and the Bow. (pls dont tell me to go War HamBow) :P

Would a build like that be viable for pvp?

Hotjoin viable? Absolutely. Anything else? I doubt it.

Icebow can actually pressure a point pretty wellm either dealing damage or forcing them off. Of course, much like in PvE, it’ll be a 4 → 3 and drop.

Lightning Hammer I really can’t see being too much use without being a walking corpse by dropping all defense to maximise the damage.

If you’re intent on having a long-lasting conjure, flame axe could be interesting. It’s got some offence, defense and pressure, while having the advantage of so few enemies knowing what it actually brings.

I see, so, if i go all conjure, bow, axe, hammer and GS, would be that…. too much… crazyness? :P

It would be horrendous. Utility skills are necessary, wasting them on all conjures is a horrible idea.

it might not be very wise in PVP.. it might be just me.. but there seem to be a delay when you summon these weapon.. and thats how i end up dead everytime =P

p.s. icebow is really good damage but hard to hit.. flameaxe is ok i guess, doesn’t do anyhting special though… other ones? not so sure.. am using DD, so all i really need is some range ability

It’ll sure be very fun for some hotjoin lols though.

i see, thanks guys

try glyph of storms+frost bow specifically the Sandstorm combined with Ice storm. you’ll build up decent Condi damage, as well as some blind.

Flame Axe has, um:

might stacking autoattack
blast finisher
mobility/evade + burning
fire field + burning
leap finisher + burning

It’s got great utility, and there is enough time to combo even the blast finisher into the 2-second Geyser, along with all the other fields it can interact with. Someone posted about it a while back, I was interested but didn’t really go for it – been playing with it now, though, and I’m loving the extra utility and damage that it brings.
