Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Can we have ascended aqua breather recipes with HOT stats ( ie marauder/ viper)please?
so we can match with our new armors.. or make them convertible in mystic forge?

It kills me to craft a breather with different stats.. not sure if anyone else feeling the same way.

anyway just a suggestion, probably no one cares..
BUT I DO….

so sad…. and awkward..

Don’t feel bad. There is a campaign to get ascended trinkets with those stats too.

I am still very pro-underwater combat and exploration. (You would think that they’d have to enhance this portion of the game with an underwater elder dragon remaining…)

We need Ascended Aqua Breathers of all stat combos. And we need them available from the Laurel merchants as well as recipes, since I detest crafting. (Heck… we need simple EXOTICS in all stat combos still!)

And we need more skins for them. (A small pen-like unit like something out of a James Bond film, or what the Jedi had in that horrible movie. A clear bubble around the head. Or best of all, an invisible Aqua Breather.)

a breather that showed up as 3 slits on each side of the neck, gills, would be neat

I could have sworn you could hide the rebreather. I mean even equipping it underwater is technically optional…

I still want ANet to remove breathers as armor and just use them as skins — there’s never been any value to needing a 7th piece of armor and all sorts of downsides.

This so much.

It would be great if breather masks were simply skin changes of headgear that occurred automatically when entering and exiting water.

Yep, sounds like the best option for me too. They’ve always been pointless and poorly supported for no reason (e.g. no crafting recipes for earlier tiers of armour, hardly any drops).

yeah their is and they are only availiable to hardcore raiders good kitteng joke

up up up,

anet devs please take a look at our post.

none of my toons have an aquabreather atm, just waiting for more stats
hopefully they will make a change.

Removing it completely sounds like a good idea, so underwater combat just uses your head armor. And then the breather would just be a cosmetic “toy”, and if you didn’t have a skin slotted, it would just use a basic breather skin?

And yea, I miss having water combat, see it a lot less often since the pvp map and underwater areas in WvW were removed.

Siesta.3867:

I see no need for an ascended aquabreather, regardless of the stats. The highest level underwater fractal can be managed without a breather and since about half my builds won’t work underwater and/or have wasted runes, I’m not willing to spend coin or mats.

As stated above , I’m waiting for ANet to finally drop the mechanic and just use a skin for the underwater helm.

yea come to think of it remove aqua breather would be the best option.

and for those who made ascended ones, that can be converted to a standard head piece, so they can keep using it or salvage it (and the others would become salvageable?)

I like the way Underwater Combat triggers a weapon/armor change.

While I kinda wish that it was a full change, IE: You swapped all your gear, that way we could have special Underwater Runes, and the like. After all no one swims in Heavy Armor, and the cloth armor would tangle you all up if you tried to swim in them. So having custom skins for Underwater Combat, IE: more Swimsuit looking.

I would settle just to see more Breather Skins, and the Ability to Dye them!

Yea, that part is a bit out there, what with the armor n not sinking lol.

Would absolutely love an “underwater” outfit that you automatically swap to in the water.

Is it not possible to change ascended breathers to hot stats through the mystic forge?

femalehumanmeta.8351:

If it is, I’m sure Customer Service would consider replacing it, in exchange for (the requester) removing the relevant materials from inventory.

I’m not inclined to make Ascended Breathers — they are a huge expense for a niche-use item:

• You can do T4 aquatic fractal using Exotic (or even masterwork) breathers.
• There’s precious little underwater combat in WvW, for which the extra stats might be useful.
• There’s no PvE situation that calls for Ascended Breathers.
• PvP will never have underwater combat and ANet has stopped including underwater areas in new zones.

I hate not having access to an Exotic aquabreather, and losing my 6th rune slot in PvE (Usually Traveller or Speed)

The only ‘underwater outfit’ I’d want on my charr is the Birthday Suit.

1) No you can’t put them in the forge.
2) HoT has underwater areas, so while they aren’t exactly promoting underwater combat, it’s not not being included.
3) It’s certainly true that they don’t matter much.

To the OP:
HoT recipies like this are available according to the wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Yassith's_Cloth_Breather but I am not sure I see how to get them. I expected fractal encryptions, but I’m not sure. Maybe you can find it? Maybe an armor book?

While it would be nice, the ascended hot stats would add 2% boon and/or condition duration. For stats like marauders, it’s adding 15 stat points TOTAL.

It could/should be done, but think about just how silly this thread is.
And yes I own ascended nomad spear/ rampager spear gun/rampager breather with setup sigils/infusions/runes and know what my underwater skills do.

Just how serious I take it from a wvw roaming perspective:
https://youtu.be/x1Lra9t5dSo

I tried, and no you cannot change it via mystic toilet.
not sure why wiki has hot stats ascended aqua breathers…
I also got 20+ recipes from fractal but none of them were hot ones.

the standard ones can also be found on TP.

now my mats just laying in my bank and hopefully they will be useful one day.
should have asked around before I put them in mystic toilet.

Congrats on having the best idea in this thread. Absolutely love it. Anet, make it happen now!

Anet!!!! please!!!!

I need HOT stats aqua breather!!!!!!!! please allow us to change aqua breather stats via mystic toilet!!!!! ( SORRY I FORGOT WHAT ITS CALLED)

I crafted 5 ascended zerker aqua breathers but I need them in HOT stats!!

Definitely consider this an issue. I made a gossamer for Marauder to match all of my ascended armor/trinkets, rings, weapons, only to find out there is no Marauder Aquabreather……. why is this item still relevant?

The Bitterfrost vendor Slooshoo offers Light, Medium and Heavy Ascended Aqua breathers with most of the HoT stats for 6,000 Unbound magic and 500 berries.

I agree with Mystic forging stats on these breathers should be put in game, but there’s definitly these:

Light
Heavy
Medium

You mean aside from this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Svaard's_Cloth_Breather
that you get the recipe to craft from fractal vendors? Or the one you can get in Bitterfrost with any stats?

I would love to see more underwater aqua breather and weapons. But didnt ANet said they will create no more spears/tridents/speargun/other underwater stuff?

I (still) really wish they wouldn’t add any more recipes for converting stats and just eliminate the breather as a piece of armor. We still don’t need it to breathe underwater.

For now, I just stick with an exotic with non-matching stats. That works perfectly fine everywhere I play (including fractals and WvW) and I can recover the rune, too. It’s still a waste, just a 100g cheaper one.

No. They did say that, in practice, underwater content as it exists now is “not fun” for players, on the whole, and so they will not be building “large underwater” content. This is, in part, why the lake was drained, since it otherwise had to be either dead space, or content they know the majority of people won’t like very much.

I’m personally hoping that they take us to what is essentially “dry ground content” with an underwater aesthetic, since that’s the part I really like. The 3D nature of the environment is what makes underwater (and hovering or flying) content hard — we just don’t have good controls, input, and displays for that heavily 3D environment at this time.

Yes please remove the aquabreather and convert the items into head armor.
If they make a poll, the majority will vote to remove it.

You can get them for free from Bitterfrost Frontier.

There is no point in wanting them removed now and I think most people would vote to keep them meerly because many have them already.

They are not free — it costs both time and resources; some of us have other uses for those. Which is partly why I doubt if most people have them (along with the fact that they aren’t needed for fractals, raids, or PvE, and easily avoided for WvW).

It’s not at all too late to update the system, especially if, in doing so, ANet allowed folks who do own ascended breathers to convert to headgear, with whatever stats they liked.

I don’t really see how getting a bunch of helmets really makes up for losing the aquatic breather.

The proposal is that the aqua breather just becomes a skin, a bit like the glider skin, so the game would use the stats and runes from your helmet instead of the aqua breather underwater.

So you’re not really losing the breather, you still use the skin underwater it’s just not considered a piece of equipment, you’re using your on-land helmet underwater. Which makes it cheaper for everyone to create full armour sets (you now only have to get 6 pieces of armour and 6 runes, not 7).

Getting some “free” ascended helmets on top sounds good to me.
