All of the elemental skills are meant to be equal. for example, we have the attunements :

[skill]Air Attunement[/skill]
[skill]Earth Attunement[/skill]
[skill]Fire Attunement[/skill]
[skill]Water Attunement[/skill]

But what about the conjures?

[skill]Conjure Lightning[/skill]
[skill]Conjure Earth[/skill]
[skill]Conjure Flame[/skill]
[skill]Conjure Frost[/skill]

That's true ^^

Conjure Earth: For 60 seconds your weapon looks like a giant club.... could see it now.

I always woundered about that, id have more use for that ebon dust aura :P

Who uses the conjures anyway except for grown up wammo's?

Elementalists aren't powerful enough to conjure something as great as earth itself. Only the most uber ones are able to do it. I wouldn't surprised if the final boss of GW:EN uses conjure earth, and elite skill that adds +10...70...90 damage

Realm of Fiery Doom · Apr 07, 2007, 03:34 PM // 15:34

I do when my weapon runs out of energy. Especially with the recent update that buffed the conjures, I think Conjure Earth should be made, even if only for the sake of equality.

Epinephrine · Apr 07, 2007, 03:43 PM // 15:43

It was likely because earth was seen as defensive initially, and that they didn't want a weapon buff in with armour buffs.

Rangers also lacked earth armour.

Of course! I keep thinking of the elements as equals (too many fantasy games and novels).

But isn't water mainly for snares?

(BTW, please forgive me for having a rant in your speed boost thread, Epinephrine

)

I vote in favor of removing conjures for something better. Conjures are just horrible, I dont know why their in the game and why more should be added.

I thought there was a ranger insignia for that now

Hence, past tense.

I can still plonk a big rock on your head though

Conjures are actually seeing some play in GVG now since the buff. With obs down I'm not shocked people don't know that yet. Either way, Brutal Weapon is infinitely better since it can't be removed.

Players who realize 40+ damage autoattacks are awesome?

Conjures are all forms of energy. Flame is thermal, Lightning is electric, Frost is the rapid negation of thermal. Earth does not have an energy form, it would just be putting a rock around your weapon, decreasing it's effectiveness.

'But little shards of rock around your weapon would cut more!' you say? Well, they gave us [skill]Sand Shards[/skill], which is kind of like conjure earth. Yeah, it's not in a similar line and it doesn't do the same thing, what can you do.

Realm of Fiery Doom · Apr 07, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

So I suppose bye-bye Conjure Earth?

Raxxman · Apr 07, 2007, 05:08 PM // 17:08

So what does an Ebon maul do that a normal one doesn't? Yet we have ebon weapon mods.

At the basic level, they're all just a transfer of energy. Ebon weapons could just have increased mass/kinetic energy.

and there is no good reason why Conjure Earth doesn't exist.

Illuminator · Apr 07, 2007, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Conjure Earth doesn't make sense, Frost makes your weapon so cold it does more dmg, Fire makes your weapon hot, Lightning charges the weapon with electicity.
Then what would earth do? Make your weapon so dirty that the target gets infected?
Logic is the shit

Wammo is a conjunction of the words 'Warrior' and 'Monk' referring to W/Mo, hence they can't use any elementalist skills.

Actually the Conjure X spells are pretty good skills for melee players and rangers.
