Guild Wars 2

I have a brand new level 20 (ty scroll) Elementalist. I like the idea of using the conjured weapons and would like to do so as I level. Is there any advice for doing so? I’m guessing grab the 1 conjure weapons trait at level 40 (didn’t there use to be another trait?). Which conjure weapons work best? What utilities and weapons supplement well?

Lightning hammer, arcane shield, arcane wave or, if you’re lazy in open world, air signet. Glyph of lesser elementals if you want a pet facetank. Fiery greatsword when you get elites. You probably want to trait 10 into earth or water for the time being for a damage modifier while you’re whacking away with your LH.

Frost bow has some uses (moreso on big targets), and lava axe got some interesting buffs but still isn’t great when you’re fighting more than one mob.

Lightning hammer if target is not immune to blind, else earth shield. Get at least 5 in water and stay in water for the regen.

After my 5 in water, where should I trait? Air line gives me precision, which seems like the way to go for LH. But fire has the only conjure trait. That’s a necessary one I feel.

I would start with 10 in earth for the 10% dmg in 600 range.
Then I would go fire 10% dmg while in the attument and stay in that attument while you dps with the conjure wep.

You wont have much vulnerability on your targets without 25 air, so I wound’t go 10 water. I would maby go 10 water when I have 10 earth and 10 fire, for the 10% dmg while over 90% hp.
