conflag bug?
ok, i was using a shocking bow, put conflag up (which should make all arrows fire damage), used conjure flame and nothing. Went to toB and tried again and same thing, so I think either there is a bug where arrows that already are elemental damage aren't affected or the skill description needs to be amended to all physical damage arrows now will deal fire damage or something.

Nah what you say is correct, because your arrors initially deal lightning damage due to your shocking bow string, the weapon longer becomes physical, so GC cannot affect it.

Conflagration is misleading, yes. Conflagration works in a functionally identicle manner to Greater Conflagration, but only for arrows, as opposed to, say, Winter.
Please reference this thread for an indepth explanation on skill stacking for elemental effects-
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=117527
By its description, you'd think Conflagration would take effect sometime around the Winter check. But, well, it doesn't.
(In case it isn't clear, I'm saying that Conflagration converts physical arrows to fire at the same point in time Greater Conflagration would do the same, and only physical arrows, while the description would lead you to believe that it affects all forms of arrows.)

Your arrows are Shocking damage, only Piercing/Slashing/Blunt is can be affected by GC.

Conflagration:
Nature Ritual. Create a level 1..8 Spirit. For non-Spirit creatures within its range, all arrows that hit strike for fire damage. This spirit dies after 30..126 seconds.
It says nothing about converting only physical damage arrows to fire, this is why I brought this up.

I know arrows normally do physical damage, that is not the point. The skill description does not specify between physical damage, elemental, or holy damage, it just says all arrows, and since it says ALL arrows, and since it is a nature ritual, which should affect everyone in it's area, the skill description must be changed to either all physical damage/piercing damage arrows will strike for fire, it there is a bug that must be fixed to override preparations or enchants.

i understand what your saying and completly agree. The description of the skill says all arrows. So wether i have a shocking icy vamp whatever string on my bow. Im still shooting an arrow and would expect conflag to change my arrow to fire damage.
Now for greator conflag it says all physical damage. So in that case if i have a elemental bow string. Then i wouldent expect to see my arrows do fire damage since they will not be inflicting physical damage.
So bottom line conflag is either bugged or anet needs to reword the description of the skill.

I've tried this skill under many circumstances, and yep, skill description is flawed. It should say physical arrows because it only works with physical arrows.
And I was just about to come up with some miracolous argument to prove that conflagration isn't bugged :P.
