Guild Wars 2

Since the icebow 50% damage nerf, i feel like conjurer weapons could use a buff. Of course, i don’t mean flat damage buffs, but why not something fun instead?
I am mainly talking about these two traits:

Conjurer: Gain fire aura when an ally picks up a conjured weapon; Conjured weapons have more charges.

One with Fire: Fire auras you apply last longer and grant might when applied.

These two traits are obviously supposed to be combined. Now add Powerful Aura and you will have a weird Conjurer Ele build that supplies auras to the team by cycling through conjured weapons. This would work well with the new Tempest, enabling you to overload attunements while holding a conjured weapon.

The problem is: this build is bad, just flat out awful. It might be meant to be a fun interaction, but i feel like it could be buffed somewhat.

Suggestion: change Conjurer and make it apply an aura to you that matches the weapon (fire, earth, frost or lightning). Make One with Fire apply to each of those auras as well. Sure, the fire theme of the traits will have gone somewhat, but this will create some fun build diversity in my opinion!

Let me know what you guys think!

Or just add “Conjure skills are now instant” to conjurer.

Then they
1) don’t feel stupidly clunky
2) You don’t get interrupted while weapon swapping
3) You can swap while casting longer skills, which is supposed to be one of our strengths
4) Flame axe, lightning hammer and earth shield suddenly become slightly useful because the survivability/mobility is no longer gated behind a cast time. Imagine actually being able to use conjure skills in a combo

Both! Especially earth shield would benifit from instant cast, and would work well both for yourself and for team support. I feel like changing conjures in both aspects will not make them OP in the slightest
