Default Are there any builds for this?

I have a W/E I created specifically to be able to use Conjure Flame/Frost/Lightning in a build.

Are there any decent "Spellblade" (for lack of a decent name) builds built around this? (I would only use one Element at a time based on the weapon I was using.)

Those 3 all have conjure. But I don't think you should go W/E for Conjure. Seeing as your going to have to spec in alot just to get any use in. And will have to have shocky weapon, icy weapon, etc. Which if you get shocky weapon, cant get lifestealing now can ya?

Those three are relatively bad.

Take a standard Dragon Slash or Crippling Slash build, put in a Conjure, done.

What else are you speccing in that you can't put 10 in an element?

Who cares about +3 lifestealing when you get +15 damage?

I really like my Whirling Axe + Conjure Lightning build, deals fast constant dmg with great spikes.


Edit: This build is extremely good vs Destroyers since your using a skill every attack & stealing hp from them with your Dwarven title up

Not blaming you Splitisoda but those builds should only be used as foundations, they really aren't that great.

The Icy Dragon is bad because it's not utilizing the second best adrenaline engine in game, sever + gashing everyone is not scary nor is it very deadly on the same target. WY is fine but SY is far superior and a res isn't really needed (unless pugging). At least put Enraging charge to help set up Flail first hit.

100 Blades is just bad fullstop. There's no +damage, it's a energy skill with a recharge and the AOE is very unreliable.

It's a gimmicky skill and really that build is a 'fun' build.

If I may make a suggestion: perhaps consider using something like barbs to give unconditional bonus damage from your physical attacks...

If you were going to do that, you should just put it on a Necro primary so that you can get barbs AND mark of pain at a higher potency, and then you may as well just put together an SS. The thing with Conjure is that once you kill the enemy, you still have the buff, as opposed to barbs, which ends as soon as you kill.

Personally I'd prefer Disrupting Chop on there too, but if you're not running Tactics or a ton of Strength you can afford to pump up Air Magic a bit.

If he is running any conjure or "spellslasher" build, he is no longer doing physical attacks, so barbs is useless in this build situation.

Don't see many more problems really than a standard shockaxe - that 10e for conjure is just once every 60 secs; it just means you lose the benefits of conjure when you need to use your zealous axe to frenzy some more.

The real problem I see with running Conjure on an axe, is that you'll start to bite a lot of Spirit Bonds, and hitting a RoF with a heavy attack will hinder you more.
Oh, and you lose a potentially useful skill. DChop is fun, fun, fun! as is Distracting Strike.

I guess so, it's just that you'll have to switch out to a zealous (meaning you lose the conjure damage)

Have you ever played a war before? Or are you just worried about losing your Healing Prayers?

Yah, I have played a war before. So i herd Conjure has a long recharge. And YES there ARE such things as enchant stripping in pve and pvp.

I'd rather have lifestealing. Its pretty much saving a little bit more of the trouble of healing yourself.

If you don't like the degen from lifestealing, use Mending like most people do

Conjure is a decent addition to an AoE Axe build, but in single targetting builds its just a waste of skill slot.

You generally know who has enchant removals beforehand, so guess what, you can plan for that.

Nobody cares about the healing or degen from vampiric.
