Guild Wars 2

I’ve suggested this before and I will suggest it again. Please PLEASE Arena net, lets us have different traits set for land and water much like our skills are different. Whenever I go into the Fractals and get the water one I have to make my whole party wait a minute while I change my traits because 60% of them are actually just useless underwater. Why not NOT keep them waiting and be less optimal? Ha! Good one… No. I like to optimize and being less effective underwater because I don’t have different traits set for water underwater.

This is my biggest complaint with underwater combat. With how easy and time friendly you guys usually make your game, this feels grimy and slow compared to the rest of the game. And I avoid water for that reason and that reason ONLY! the other problems underwater become much more manageable when this simple fix is included.

So Please. I don’t want to go underwater and have to change out greater marks and friends every single time I think about spending more then 5 minutes under water.

This should really get more attention. I know this isn’t the most interesting fix asked for. it isn’t “OMG! this would be the coolest thing ever!” but we need this if aqua combat is going to be expanded on.

Thinking how I usually traited blink and focus with my mesmer …
Or wells with my necro …
Or bows with my ranger …
Or elexir gun with my engineer …

This might be a worthy suggestion.

hey devs. Pay attention to this. This is important.

Bumping. I know I should say something else, but this is pretty self explanatory. I go under water. I should have a different set for underwater. I shouldn’t have to spend 5 minutes changing things around. This would be the step in the right direction.

As it is set up now, no one picks the underwater traits except for something like water fractal. I certainly don’t change out my traits just to go underwater in PvE, even if I am going to be there a while. If it was set up to switch automatically at the same time your underwater weapons appear, this would be great and allow for better underwater combat. Maybe people would like it better if they could fight more effectively underwater.

that is exactly what I’m suggesting…

I support this idea. Possibly with the new trait/build swapping that is (maybe) in development, there should be an underwater version or each build!

Awesome idea, I have the same issue. +1
