Q:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
Q:
well the patch seems to have changed a lot of things for underwater eles….
Anybody found a list of decent combos and or tactics?
As a dungeon player i would apreciate a lot….
A:
I do basically what I’ve always done, except now I include the fire field. Lure your opponent near the bottom or up against a wall and then:
Fire 4 cripple, 3 blind, 2 fire field
Water attunement
Water 5 into the bottom/wall for 10-15k damage + leap finisher
Water 3, 2, wait for 2 to hit then detonate both for another 6-10k damage
Fairly easy to pull off and does a lot of damage in a short window (~8 seconds with the burst hitting in a 3-4 second window).

My main tactic is to swim in circles while autoattacking my target. So far, it has worked for 99% of the underwater enemies I’ve faced, including the fractal jellyfish boss (which I could probably solo if only it didn’t take so long…).
actually if you try to solo that stage you die anyway by kraits in plants route….
I noticed since patch that in that route you can pull some serious damage since patch (while before only water 5 did some)….
Boiling Water>Ice Wall>Detonate 3 stacks of might and pretty good aoe damag. Throw in tidal wave for fire aura if you have aura traits.
Murky Water>Ice Wall>Detonate>Tidal Wave 3 secs of group invis and 3 secs of self invis. Fun but not very practical out of combat since you can’t aim murky water without a target.
There’s more of course but I think these are the most useful or interesting ones.

If youre using aura build, leap+firefield is nice.
Bute there seriously isn´t all that much, just 2 fields, leap and blast (earth projectile isn´t worth mentioning really).
E5 > W5 = Stealth
E5 > W33 = Area Stealth
lot of useful answers ty >.<
