Guild Wars 2

So I just noticed that when I go underwater, one of my runes does not activate and it concerns me considering I lose stats.

Does anyone has any insight on why this would happen?

Is it because my headgear switches to the aquatic one which has no rune? Because if so, then that is no bueno.

Yes, underwater mask would require same rune of set to get 6th bonus.

That’s exactly why, your rebreather replaces your headgear, so in effect, your headgear (and the rune in it) is not equipped underwater.

It is because your helmet is swapped for the breather. Don’t expect a fix for this anytime soon seeing Anet seemed to stop caring for underwater content.

Oh lawdy lawd! I gotta buy another of those runes! My pockets are burning!

If I put one on though, it will work right?

Edit: Nevermind, I am not wasting gold on it. Not often I am fighting in the water anyways.

I just put a Ruby Orb in mine. (Shrug).
