Skills - Conjure Lightning

would anyone happen to know if Conjure Lightning has the 25% armour penetration that many other Lightning spells feature?

Also, apart from element-specific resistance is there any other notable practical difference between using the different Conjure spells? (fire, frost & lightning) NO armor penetration unless stated. The difference in the conjures is the type of string you have, and which you like best. Since in pvp not many people bring cold resistant armor, conjure frost + icy bowstring is best. Otherwise in pvp, the type of monsters will effect your decision. (Though, conjure flame + kindle arrows works too, taht means you can add a vampiric string + conjure + kindle for tons of damage)

O I C.... Anyways Guys I think there is a way to add to the Conjure+Kindle+Vampiric string combo but u would have to depend on your allys. What they would do is use skills like Strenth of Honour and Order of Pain/Vampire and Over skill that allys can use on other allys to increase damage plus for a one time effect u can use Duel Shot to Double the damge of the conjure,kindle and all the other things u got to other then the regular damage. Guys U know of any other increase ally damage other then the ones I said? Strength of Honour only works in melee, and the Orders only work on Physical attacks. Kindle turns your weapon into fire.

You either have to go all-out physical buffs, or not. Judge's Insight would disable the Conjure and Orders as well.

Edit: As in most of the buffs that will affect physical damage ONLY affect physical damage.

Strength of Honour only works in melee, and the Orders only work on Physical attacks. Kindle turns your weapon into fire. Order of Pain - Enchantment Spell
Sacrifice 17% of maximum health. For 5 seconds, whenever a party member hits a foe, that party member does an additional 3-13 damage.

where does it say phyisical

I dunno, physical damage sounds more like "not magical" than just melee. So maybe rods/staves wouldnt work since they are elemental, but bows arent inherently elemental. The problem in what he wants is Kindle Arrows.
With Kindle Arrows, you don't need a fiery bowstring to use Conjure Flame, because Kindle Arrows turns your damage to fire. That Flame Slinger build doesn't need Greater Conflagration either.

If you're using Kindle Arrows, then you're using fire damage, and not physical. Ergo, it doesn't work with Order of Pain.

The same holds true for Judge's Insight enchantment.

can u get this from any boss's? just that i dont have any skill points left but i got a Capture.
Yes, one of those nasty ghostly undead looking mosters.. you can find one at Sanctum Cay.

Well, you're right about Judge's Insight, but I didn't think so about Kindle. You really should read up on your skills. Kindle arrows: For 24 seconds, your arrows deal an additional 3-20 Fire damage. Note the "additional." I've fought enough rangers to remember it shows normal damage and Kindle damage differently. Therefore if you're not using a fiery bowstring, you're doing physical damage. :-) I just assumed everyone knew what Kindle Arrows did. And I assumed everyone knew Kindle Arrows didn't work exactly as described. Guess I was wrong.

Why don't you actually try the combo instead of working off of the description?
Guild Wars is great, but it's not perfect.

Look at Virulence-
Are you going to tell me it doesn't induce poison just because the description doesn't say so?

You'll have a tough time 'proving' that to fragility mesmers in the arena and their victims, who've witnessed it first-hand.

And would you like to tell me Crystal Wave ignores Protective Spirit too?

The point is-
Don't tell someone they're wrong unless you've actually tested and verified it. Kindle Arrows produces an unusual effect unlisted in its description. Most flame slingers should be able to tell you that they don't need a fiery bowstring OR Greater Conflagration in order to use Conjure Flame. They just toss up Kindle Arrows, Conjure, and they're good to go, perfect for using the Zealous Bowstring for additional energy management.
