We have 20 weapon skills per weapon.
And conjures being worse than our weapon skills makes any sense how? :P
Conjures should be better given the trade off you have to make to actually make them good, which includes:
- limited charges and on a cooldown
- losing weapon skills
- cannot use bundles
- lost when downed
- a utility slot (often used for defensive utilities)
- heavy investments in certain traits to make it good
It would make no sense whatsoever if conjures are worse than weapon skills despite having all these drawbacks (otherwise, what would be the point of the conjures).
If you want to argue that weapon skills are bad, then evaluate them for their own performance. But saying “conjures is better than weapon skills therefore weapon skills are bad” is not a good approach to it.
