Guild Wars 2

I dislike playing this map because thieves and ele’s are so strong underwater.

I play thief all the time, and being able to chain you #5 skill (evade all attacks for 3 seconds), dodge, and stealth, you become nigh invincible underwater. It depends on the thief’s build (more initiative means more invincible time), but it’s ridiculous. Yesterday I 1v3vSharks for the entire match as a thief, by chaining 5 with dodges, with stealth and steal (one enemy was a necro that gives me 4s AoE fear when I steal).

For elementalists, they simply have a larger amount of CC (getting bubbled up, stoned down, and then electrify stunned) and then an amazing elite that does insane AoE dmg for a long duration)

I know underwater combat isn’t balanced, but it’d be nice if we could see some changes in the skills that would make them more balanced. For instance, perhaps the thief’s 5 harpoon skill should evade 3 attacks, rather than evade all attacks for 3 seconds.

Anet just needs to remove underwater combat in PvP. It serves no purpose.

Whirl is an insult to game design, it’s a kitten press this kitten, watch big numbers for 15 seconds. Yes i’m an elementalist.

This guy is seriously crying about elementalists?

You obviously have not seen them underwater using whirlpool. Also, refrain from using ‘crying’ because it’s not an accurate depiction at all of the situation and it just makes you look like a jerk.

More importantly, why aren’t there chickens in PvP?

@Izziee Link can list a few things as to why you don’t want to fight chickens.

One match I had today, an elementalist was absolutely dominating the 2 of us that actually bothered with temple, it was almost embarassing. I really need to figure out their underwater combat moves, because I know almost nothing about them except that whirlpool beats the kitten out of me.

Elementalists have to be useful somewhere in SPvP…

So @DrTenma you basically try to fight a whirlpool ele at mele range….your complaint can be compared to somebody who cry because he get killed by a tornado ele….do you even realize the fallacity of your argument?

arheundel, the whirpool seems to actually fill a wider area in water than it does on land. it’s really easy to shut out other people from taking the ruins with that elite.
