Guild Wars 2

so, u are all hating on conjures and r like: it needs more charges, or it locks u out of ur attunements!’

so the way i look at it: u use conjures once u need it, use 1-3 skills, drop it, and go on w ur normal weapset.

the conjures DO NOT lock u out of ur attunements,, they r expanding it, no one forces u to camp ur conjure, look at it like that, u use up half a seconnd or whatever the cast time is(wich is rly the only bad thing about it but i got not even the slightest prob w that) then u gain 5 additional skills!
(btw i am looking at it in wvw/pvp perspective)

of course there are some exceptions lightning hammer auto atk chain for pve

i will give few examples now, i am running d/f in obsidian sanctum a lot (u dont need offhand dagger movement there) and i take flame axe. (trust me , its awesome, high dmg and gap closer (u need to use about face button) or a gap ..ehm… widener(my english isnt rly good) , it also gives an gigh dmg RANGED spike dmg (the skill 2 deals insane dmg and its aoe)

or u can just spam its skill 2 and auto atk including the gap widener (all against meeles) to keep em out of u till u wait for ur heal recharges

i duelled few eles like 2-3 weeks ago and they were all like : wow u use flame axe so efficiently (yes my ego strikes here as well )

as for magnetic shield, it rly is useless against ranged ppl. but once they switch to meele, its awesome, ehm… u need celestial or condi gears of course, i use magnetic shield in my condi setup for pvp

and btw, magnetic shield is awesome on fractals @ mai trin during the cannon phace when they r all shooting the fields and u just gotta evade stuff, i personally use d/f in fractals, and thanks to that i got obsidian flesh, magnetic shield immunity, and mist form(no worrys i aint a scrub, i only take mistform for that phace in the situation that someone gets downed there and i can rez w obsidian flesh + mistform , a nice secure 7 second rez:p

btw did anyone notice that arcan wave an arcan blast got their names wrong, i mean the wave is a blast finisher, and the blast is ,,, well a wave like thingy, is it noteworthy to ask arenanet to fix it?

ps: i use ‘w’ a lot, it shortly means ‘with’ , nearly all in my guild using it like that so not sure if anyone doesnt know what i mean with ‘w’

Yes, they are powerful but apart of the FSG I’m not sure they worth a permanent Utility Slot. You can use the Frost Bow for wall defence so giving a Guardian a very good ranged option. You can use the FSG for soloing camps or the Hammer if you know you going to be melee. All of them have their uses.

They are very good but usually situational.

well ye, but most of the skills we got r situationally, i am just annoyed by the fact that all ppl hate on the conjures the way they currently are. they r awesome atm, and i hope someone shares the thought of this or keeps this in mind before badmouthing em again.

I lol’d so hard at this….

Well in PvE conjured weapons are awesome – I dont think that there are any questions about the usefulness of fiery rush or frost bow 4 or a lightning hammer auto attack chain from a PvE perspective.

However, I just dont see them being that useful in PvP situations. When I see somebody pop FGS in WvW they do it to run away in 90% of the time (me included). Frost bow 4 is pretty good against zergs but costs you one cantrip slot. (and frost bow deep freeze can be a game changer when it hits a thief on close range – but this is rare because the skill is very telegraphed).

Flame axe always seemed awkward to me. To me, a regular S/D weaponset felt more useful in almost any situation. But since you brought it up, I will give flame axe another shot, maybe I just used it wrong back then.
