Waffler.1257 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Underwater combat still exists in WvW and there are some very busted underwater weapon skills, especially of the mesmer variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mochi.8936 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I did happen upon someone under a fort while on Condi Mesmer. They did not take out any under weapon weapons or maybe lacked one, and we just humored each other for a few whole minutes while I tried to kill the guy with the trident. It just wasn't happening. :)) That's fun (yet very sad) to experience...once, and it was a stalling technique I happily let myself "fall" for to see exactly what would happen underwater.But yes, underwater is a joke, and a thief may usually turn that joke on whoever is foolish enough to get distracted, especially by the Red's lake/pond and Anza and just ping pongs between shores with swimmer teams on his/her tail trying their best to kill the one thief.

Dawdler.8521 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Mesmer underwater is literally nothing compared to the ranger, so I find it hilarious that was the target for this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I think condi Necro is the strongest underwater overall, you can end up with 40-50 stacks of Bleeding and Poisoned on your enemies and in an AoE at that, and underwater few classes have any mobility so the Necro's usual weakness on land doesn't apply.And that's without Epidemic. Its really something to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an old streamer named Donee used to jump in water near red keep just trolling with his build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cases where I have downed a ranger in water, they are able to revive faster than I can cleave, very annoying. However downed skills are very unbalanced across the board, some do great dmg in down state, some higher than regular auto attacks, along with some classes having hard cleave and stomp counters, yet other classes are totally useless. Though if downstate were removed or nerfed, this would not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a thief. I'm gonna add this to my non-existent list of accomplishments in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeerlessArch.6547 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yeah -- Thief, Spear with skill #5, dodge, skill#5, dodge, etc, etc. I had an entire zerg chase me around bay for like 4 laps until they finally gave up lol. Pretty busted, but eh...was fun. :)They should probably do a quick pass on underwater skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Dude, mesmer clones and phantasmals are the next targets to scream about, get with the nerf program, no one cares about underwater lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safandula.8723 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Good point. Rn all underwater skills are boosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 i have to agree with xenesis... one of the least problems of WvW is the underwater-balance. (i even disagree with their regular "balance" patch, starting to fix things on the wrong end imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 the only underwater skill that should be available is this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Warrior underwater weapons are fairly strong so I've never been bothered with chasing someone into the water for a free kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
