Guild Wars 2

Just give them their own attunement/weapon slot so we can swap between our normal weapon skills and the conjure at will. The main reason conjures suck so much is because of the opportunity cost of losing your entire skill bar.

Could not have said it better. Such a simple idea that would open many possibilities.

I remember seeing this suggestion elsewhere as well, sort of like engineer kits. That’s be awesome.

I am sure they mentioned that they want to do a complete rework for the conjures in the last SotG.

Let’s hope they make them work like kits, otherwise I don’t see any reason to use them. You lose 20 skills and 1 utility skill for 5 skills (most of them are pretty bad). Even if the skills would be buffed a lot you would still lose your versatility and you also have to worry about the charges. Besides that there is only 1(!) trait for conjures. One. That’s not enough.

After the last few patches I am not sure if they will do a good job though…

Simply buffing the conjures’ damage would end up making us the new warriors for PvE. It’d either be useless or overpowered in PvP.
I agree, they need a rework.
