Guild Wars 2

A while ago the Ranger spirits were given the ability to be summoned underwater, taking the form of porpoises and whales rather than oakhearts.

I suggest a similar capability for the elementals. When summoned underwater, the elementals should take the form of aquatic animals.

For example, the fire elemental would take the form of a shark; water is a dolphin; air either barracuda or eel; earth a whale.

The skills may need to be adjusted to make sense, but I see no reason elemental summons cannot work underwater.

But if they change to aquatic animals underwater, we can’t really call them “elementals” anymore. Spirits are spirits, I suppose they can assume form better suited for water. Elementals on the other hand are guys that don’t really like changes.
Just look at those icebrood ice elementals.
You work for 16 hours a day and what do you get? OVERGROWN LIZARD POURS ASH ON YOUR BACK AND DEMANDS YOU TO DOMINATE THE LIVING.
No wonder they’re angry now. :C

Several forumgoers have suggested underwater elementals since way back in the open betas. It is absolutely doable: Magma, Aqua, Plasma, and Mud. Tar Elementals and every other classes pets (minus certain Engineer turrets) can go underwater, why not ours?

@ Winds: I lol’d.

Yea, I wish one day it would eventually happen. Not only to elementals but to all utilities and elites of all classes to have underwater counterpart. :O

Well there is no reason to not have earth, water (duh) and even air (all bubbles?) underwater.

Fire could still be magma with aoe steam damage.

Wpvp, I am finding folks hitting the water vs me which really hampers what I can do.

So much this. T_T Why can’t I summon a conjured weapon when I can use my kits normally on my engi?
