I like the signet of fijah as it gives a flat 10% increased crit chance.

It doesn’t
The passive gets worse the higher your level is. At 80 it gives you 4%.
The active burn is awesome though

Ah snap … oh well, maybe another cantrip instead, or keep it for the burn. We’ll see how that plays out.

Thanks for the feedback so far, I’m looking forward to getting somewhere with my ele

Are you looking for a 100% conjure build where you only use conjured weapon abilities?

Although I only do spvp I think I have some decent ideas on conjure builds. The build would depend on how intent you are on incorporating the conjured weapon though.

On a side note this thread got me thinking about how much you could crit with a lightning hammer, 5699 was the best I could do.

The idea is to make a build where I would use the hammer and greatsword along with staff (because 100% uptime on conjured weapons can be situation specific).

Here’s a new build, where I took into account the fact that water attunement is needed:

Again, copypasta if bad link.

I like the signet of fijah as it gives a flat 10% increased crit chance. The build I just posted looks ok to me ( a newbie when it comes to ele ), BUT … I have no idea on the stats I need to focus on.

So yeah, if one of you gurus says the build is valid, could you then specify what my stat priority should be?

I put the complete link in the post now. Still doesn’t work when clicking, so copypasta is needed.

As far as the response goes: water attunement eh? Well, that kinda ruins my day. Some thinking is in order then.

So yeah, I’ve gone the way of the elementalist about 15 times already … and ended up deleting the chars ( partially because of cosmetic choices, animations, … but also because I was bored playing ).

I know the classes only come into full throttle later on, but I never managed to stick with it.

Ok, so that’s for the backstory. Yes, it is relevant to my question. I just want to point out that I have zero experience with conjured weapons because I never got high level enough to get the hammer and the GS ( other than yoinking them in dungeons from the ele in the group ).

Build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQFAWhMmYbyRAxjDAhHKMABDFhsRRxN4A;TwAZUCokQpiSBFlOGdE6Y1xpjUnBFA

So this is what I have in mind. I have no idea if this will be any good or not ( or if a conjured weapons based build is even viable at all ). All I see is that my healthpool will be very low, though there are some escape things ( cantrips, blind from hammer, etc … )

Bottomline: I want to do damage, but I also want to survive when an anemic fly sneezes on me.

Can this be done?

Blood fiend
Bone fiend
Shade
Wurm
Golum

- Blood: healzors, extra minion, extra toughness ( trait )
- Bone: Decent damage, cripple, immobilize, I likez
- Shade: Blind
- Wurm: Good damage imo, stun breaker + GTFO button
- Golum: portable truck

So yeah, that’s my army. Allows me to solo champions ( though it takes some time ^^; ).

Build

Asura, because … Asura (HA, I stole the charr guy’s joke)

I always play small races

FF XI: Taru Taru monk and Taru Taru Dragoon
Warhammer: Goblin
WoW: Gnome, dwarf and goblin

I just like the idea of the underdog. And what better underdog than a tiny tiny character. I also don’t give a rat’s lower back about racial skills, they’re just a bonus.

Currently, all my classes are Asura ( except my thief, who is human, as I couldn’t stand the animations on asura for heartseeker )

So yeah … just aesthetics

Much obliged all, this makes it that much clearer

So, I’ve been wondering: does the trait only work for phantasms? Or can illusions who do a 0 crit ALSO put that bleed on?
