Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has probably come up before, but I couldn’t find it in a forum search:

• Asura have no underwater-compatible elite skills. None.

• Elementalists have no underwater-compatible elite skills. None.

This means, of course, that if you create an Asuran elementalist, you have no available elite skills.

Suggestions:

• If Mr. Sparkles can swim, and can fight underwater (and he does, in the VOED personal story arc) then the Series 7 and Series D golem elite powers should work underwater.

• In my opinion, honestly, so should the summonable weapon powers. I don’t see any reason why they already don’t, and it would go a long ways towards making up for the fact that the only current underwater weapon that elementalists get is the trident. (Lest anyone misunderstand my point here: I understand that they can’t have two hot-swappable weapons, I’m bringing up the lack of choice as to what they can put in that slot.) If summonable weapons were underwater-compatible, then, of course, elementalists could use Conjure Fiery Greatsword as an underwater elite.

Guardians only have one underwater-friendly elite, i believe…

so yeah. we need more underwater elites

The Flesh Golem seriously needs swimming lessons.

It is so annoying having him despawn and go on cooldown as soon as you dip your pinky in a puddle.

Yes they do – Whirlpool.
Of course, it is a 30-SP cost skill, so you need to buy two 10 point elites before you can even have the option to get it, meaning that for a recently-dinged level 30 Ele you’re much worse underwater than other classes.
Having a FGS-equivalent [Fiery Spear?] underwater would be a really great addition, so I support that.

On the Asura side, I may be wrong, but I don’t think any of the racial elites work underwater.

please can flesh golem take swimming lessons

For asura ele, the only elite skill is whirlpool. It is quite useful tbh, to help me out of the ‘Oh xxxx!’ moments in pve and pretty much close to an ‘I win’ button in WvW when fighting underwater.
