Guild Wars 2

It seems all the Utility skills I enjoy fighting with can’t be used underwater. That means I’ll either have to dive in naked, or switch my skills everytime I need to go into water. Anyone else hoping for this inclusion?

You get a new utility bar underwater and are forced to change your weapons, only spears, harpoon guns and tridents work underwater, but it is all seemlessly done when you enter water.

I know your weapon is forced to switch to an underwater one. I’m talking about Utility skills, not weapon skills.

You get separate utilities for underwater, something I didn’t realize right away myself until I noticed it was empty.

Utility Skills should switch as well when you enter water. You can only slot them while you’re in water, though.

@Remix, once you are underwater, set your utility skills the way you want them. Then every time you go in or out of the water, they will toggle. The key is you have to set them while you are underwater.

Really? I assumed you couldn’t since they didn’t have a dedicated spot in the Hero Window. I’ll have to test it out then.

You just have to go underwater in the Mists to setup all your underwater skills (healing, utility and elite).
Some utility skills though (and some elite skills i think) dont work underwater.

They do indeed.
