Guild Wars 2

i realy like the idea of using conjure weapons and some realy have potential, but before im going to try this their need to be a few changes.

lightning hammer: skill 5, i want to be able to cast this while on the move, warriors just got that improvement to their hammer skill, could we get this to please?

flame axe: could we get a smoke field on this? this way ele has the opportunity to play with stealth a little, where there is smoke, there is fire, and visa versa.

earth shield: this weapon screams for a blast finisher, skill 3? skill 4? pick one, i dont mind, it needs one. also could the earth shield be a stun breaker? i think it goes well with it since its a defensive weapon already anyway. and if i ever go a full conjure build i’d like at least one stun breaker. (personally i think every utility skill type needs atleast 1 stunbreaker. 1 for conjure, 1 for glyphs, 1 for signets, etc)

all conjure weapons: …X… effect has to happen when the weapon is discharged while it has charges left. if need be this effect could be stronger depending on how many charges there are left.

i know i havent mentioned ice bow and greatsword, but i think the icebow is pretty nice, and the greatsword… well i never use it (maybe its to weak to xD)

an even cooler idea would be, “elemental hammer” you summon a hammer based on your atunement. and that for every weapon, but i highly doubt thats going to happen haha

how would you like these changes? what do you like and what wouldnt you like? is it to strong? does it need even more? discuss!

maybe the buff that you get from conjure weapons could last the secconds of the charges you still had left.

I like your ideas. But they just buffed conjures, so it may be a while before they change them again.

the recent buff is noticeable even in fights against players.
The underdog is still the shield, which needs a lot of tweaking, but hammer, axe and bow are impressive.

I’d say the changes we need the most when talking about conjured weapons are:

- insta-summon
- swap (and they must mantain their “charges” between all swapping)

of course, getting rid of the useless charges would be exactly what’s needed to have us saying “wow”, therefore I am not expecting such giant step (it would be like admitting RTL fail and thus reverting it).

i know they just got buffed, but nobody will ever take a conjure over a stunbreak.
the lightning hammer 5 its more of a quality of life improvement. i thought Anet was against immobile number crunching. there are alot more possibilitys for conjures. why are they even ground targeted? nothing happens where you target exept for the summoned weapon apears there. for lightning hammer it could act just like lightning flash does, a instant teleport. i agree that conjures dont need to get a major buff, it just needs this little push to get people into using conjure weapons abit more often.

srry for the crippled english

Stun breaker? Lol. Do those exist for the Ele still? You are the chosen sacrifice my friend. Do us all proud and die with honor.

Allow them to be swapped out like Toolkits on Engineer. Otherwise you sacrifice too much utility of your other abilities to make them worthwhile.

nah i like the conjure part, it needs to be unique. not like something any other class has. i do agree that this way they would be way more usefull, but since they are not we need other ways to make them usefull.

don’t worry, they still aren’t in a place where decent players would run them except for novelty value.

Positionning. If you ever plan to drop the first one and pick the second one at one particular/advantageous spot, or simply share it with an ally if you teamplay coordinatively. But I agree, there should be a field on the summonning point and yours. Fire/Ice/Lightning/Earth.

By the way, why earth does not get any field? Mud, shifting sands, whatever.

Earth is physical. It gets finishers rather than fields.

Actually, they do pop Aegis where they’re summoned, not just LA that causes burning but also FB, LH and ES.

I’ll go report that as a minor bug.
