I noticed conjures aren’t ground targeted anymore in one of the pictures of the specialization preview

I think that’s a stretch; nothing on that whole panel has a ground targeting icon.

Agreed. I doubt Glyph of Storms is losing ground targeting.

Exactly currently conjures have a ground targeted icon. The image above has conjures without the ground target symbol on them which means conjures may no longer have the environmental weapon option. The picture also has conjures slotted in the utility slots still with no ground target symbol underneath.

It’s the skills menu or sort is why I can see they left out the targeting icons. I imagine they’re far away from the polishing stage where little things like this would be normalized. In the longshot that they were made kits that would break a whole lot of functionality for the profession. For one, some of the conjures shouldn’t be accessible at will the way current kits operate. Introducing a cooldown on them would be required to maintain their balance. The second issue would be the question as to whether or not the “kits” would still create an additional weapon for pickup. If so, where would it be placed? My assumption would be at the feet of the caster.

Ultimately, though making conjures into kits would impose on the Engineer’s niche. The balance in their kits is the Engineers only have access to handful of weapons that are supplemented through at-will kit accessibility. Elementalists effectively have “4 weapon swaps” per weapon set. Adding Elemental “kits” to their high weapon availability would be too much.

I highly doubt kit implementation anytime soon— take a look at lightning flash even. That doesn’t appear to be ground-targeted either, nor glyph of storms. I highly doubt that those would be changed…

Is there any picture out there that shows glyph of storms or lightning flash equipped on a character? So far, we only have screens of Ether Renewal, Conjure Lightning/ Fire, Mist Form and Tornado.

Not slotted, but there is a picture that shows them on the skill selection sidebar. That is what people are referring to.
