Guild Wars 2

You think we have but 4 atunements? False we also have our conjured weapons. But for some reason people tend to use them till they dissapear. Its the same as when you stay in one atunement. Its not gonna work. But if you swap into an elemental weapon use up a few of its usefull skills, drop it to go back to your own skills or you can even swap to another conjured weapon simply by conjuring it and it’ll over-ride the one you’re currently equiped with.

I’d say you should give it a try and share what you thought of it.

think it depend on which conjure you mean

I already had your thoughts and tried it out in WvW. But the fact that conjures have a cast-time makes them rather useless if you want to use them for only 1 or 2 spells – you’ll never be able to cast the spells when you need them. There are of course some interesting spells on each weapon (only 1 or 2 per weapon though) but you have to already wield it to make use of that spells. And permanantly wielding a conjure restricts you far too much.
If they would replace the conjures with just one spell from each of them that activates instantly (or with short cast-time) I would totally use some of them.
(invulnerability from earth-shield, aoe from frost-bow, leap or combo-field from lightning-hammer for example)

So overall an utility that activates instantly (like arcane shield compared to invulnerability from earth-shild or glyph of storms compared to frost-bow aoe) is way better.

yea there is a 1/2 second cast time but most of the skills from the conjured weapons are instant cast making the on par with signets and glyphs regarding casting time.

Its not easy but once you got all the timing down it’ll be a real joy to have a frost bow or fiery greatsword in your skillset.
