Nimrud.5642 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 With the recent nerfs to icebow and FGS, this question came into mind... I was thinking about replacing FGS with Weave Self and icebow with some arcane stuff. Are those better than the nerfed conjures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The earth shield can do some work icebow did get nerf to the ground for its old dmg use its soso a healing all though it should have condi clear on it. FGS was never a good wepon out side of a trick of hitting into walls its just ele lacked a good elite skill. Self weave gives realty good buffs and has an ok cc on it.

BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 In PvE Ice bow and Fgs are still used to fill gaps in ele rotations, but they're no longer a primary damage source. The other conjures are still as relevant as ever (not relevant at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conncept.7638 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Some are used for 1-2 imbalanced skills, most are utterly worthless, none are used for their original design intent, as actual weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condi build used to camp FGS, and that was actively discouraged by nerfing FGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lLobo.7960 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 In PVE, the elite signet now brings more dps to the condi builds than FGS.FGS is still used in PvP/WvW due to mobility and high dmg.Ice bow is still used in PvE for ice fan as it is a quick skill with high dmg if used at close.Earth shield can be used in healer builds in PvE (for pulls, invuls and barrier) and at some extend on some PvP builds using lightening rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor.2358 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 FGS is still used in power builds for its damage. Also on power, Icebow 2, 3 and 4 are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edu.6984 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 FGS is still used by some for mobility in wvw, especially core eles. Tempest and weaver have better elite options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
