How come there is no Conjure Earth spell? I've been wondering about that.

Egg. Chickens are the descendants of dinosaurs. Going by evolution, the chicken was a mutant of its own race and had evolved into such from eggs.

My guess it would be overpowered and unbalanced

Earth magic has some of the best defense in the game

yea but conjures dont do THAT much more damage, and skills like Brutal weapon do almsot the same amount of damage not requiring a special damage type.

although conjure spells dont do that much more damage (as stated above) having a conjure earth would encourage a much higher earth magic attribute for non ele primaries. Personally I think it would be a little unbalancing to have that much potential offense and defense come from a single attribute for a non caster such as a warrior. On top of that it would encourage a Wa/El rush to match the Wa/Mo. Id rather hear about "noob wammos" than "noob wales."

Yea but it would also encourage Elementalists/rangers, to use insignias that protect against earth damage, considering im almsot positive almsot no one uses them.

The main reason the skill doesn't exist is beause conjures, in their original form, removed all enchantments from a target after they were cast. This was since changed in a skill balance. Since earth magic relied on a lot of defensive enchantments back in prophecies, a skill that striped those would be kinda silly, so it was never implimented.

As for the armor bosts of earth magic, Water magic now has several armor enchantments so that reason is also no longer valid.

Conjure Earth should be implemented.

It was valid AT release which is when skills get designed.

I dont think there should be a conjure earth. Reason?

Dervish/Elementalist :

VoS/Avatar, conjure earth, mystic regen, stoneflesh, kinetic, veil of thorns, ___ aura(-13 base damage from foe suffering condition), res

you would be doing 80-150 damage per normal scythe attack, and have somewhere around -50 base damage

Conjure Earth + Ebon Dust Aura would be pretty crazy on a D/E.

New skills have been added with Factions and Nightfall and GWEN, so why not add Conjure Earth when GWEN came out since there are no more valid reasons against it??

Because all the other conjures are core skills. If they added Conjure Earth to the game, they would "have to" make it a core skill as well, which means they would have to retroactively add it to Phrophecies. That is something A.net has NEVER done before, and it seems silly for them to do so just for one specific skill.

Who cares the redid the entire Healing Breeze icon and a few others. Wouldn't be to much work compared to other stuff posted here.
