Guild Wars 2

Just an idea I had while sitting here debating whether or not to login to GW2 given the broken state of my Ele…

What if the Conjure skills spawned “Elemental” weapons instead of being locked to a specific attunement? Say, you could spawn a Bow, but instead of it being the Frost Bow with its limited 5 attacks, have it change elements when you change attunements, becoming a flame bow, or a lightning bow, etc? I think that would be an awesome upgrade to our currently mostly harmless Conjured weapons. Just a thought, discuss. And please, no flaming about how many more skills that would give us. Yes, it would give us more skills. Considering the 20 we already have with any particular weapon set have only… 5-10 actually useful skills, if that… (I’m looking at you, direct damage staff >.>) It would add some interesting flavor and possible new options.

It would definitely need to keep its charge system and duration, though. Just putting that out there.

The problem is, and it’s not flaming either, is that it’s been suggested before, and won’t happen (atleast anytime soon) BECAUSE it’s so many skills new and old.
What you’re asking for is for all of our conjures (axe, bow, hammer, shield, sword) to have 20 skills each, which is another 100 skills, whether they be new or old, it’s just too much to go through and balance out.

inb4 “but they don’t care about balance anyways”

Funny you wrote this, I just posted this in another forum…

I believe they should Re-Do our conjuring spells… If we could conjure a Weapon and then still attunement swap, gaining new abilities for the weapon, remove charges and put a 300 second (5 minute) duration on them. This would make conjuring more fun and viable. Not to mention the ability to change a Greatsword into a Fiery, Icy, Lightning, or Granite blade would be freaking WICKED. Lol
