Suppose they did this and made a condition damage weapon. What conditions would you apply in water or air attunement?

Imo water can just keep the heals it already does.

Air can be given more control and boon so its a utility and maybe some confusion? On one of the weapons.

The just earth and fire are either condition or damage based.

Chill/vulnerability; weakness/daze/stun? Not all of the skills have to do condition DAMAGE. In fact, a large part of many condition builds is the actual application of conditions.

Oopsie: deleted main post. Here it is:

What I mean by this is that you can’t find a weapon that specializes in either condition damage or raw damage, only in both. This forces elementalists to either have a good chunk of their skills at very low inefficiency in terms of damage, or mix raw and condition for a overall lower dps.
With every other class, weapon choice not only determines general range but it also determines which (or a mix) of the 2 types of damage possible.
I’m sure that a few tweaks with some skills here and there will help. What I mean is maybe reducing condition damage and increasing raw damage for a couple of skills on say dagger. And increasing condition damage and decreasing raw on say scepter.

That’s exactly how it is now, which was the point I was trying to make. Anyway, this isn’t worth arguing over.
