Guild Wars 2

Hi I started to paly engi and noticed something wierd.
Let say that I have my utility skills set as: FT,Grenades and Elixir C.
For underwater I got Grenades, Elixir C and PB Ram.
Everytime I go to water and out, my utility skills, grenades and elixir C, change place to be the same underwater.
But not in water I want game to remember exact order, because of keybinds and because what I am preferably using.
Is it normal or is it bug?

Thanks

I think it’s normal; it just treats that particular type of thing in a way that can be disconcerting, where it’ll move a skill from slot 7 to 8 on land if you put said skill in slot 8 underwater. Been like that since release.

I have the same problem… Its not a bug.. but it could be improved..when ever i change something out of water, when i go under the skills are all changed and sometimes this fairly kills me because i have keys bounded to kits such as T or R

Well it is not normal, my thief,ele or mesmer is not doing that.

lets say for argument’s sake, you have the following utilities: tool kit, elixir s, and elixir gun on land. in water u take elixir b, grenades, and toolkit. so you have to go in the water all the sudden, and when u are on your way out of the water, you use elixir b. when u get on land again your toolkit would have a 30-40 sec cooldown. this is why the game moves your skills around, to prevent your kits(if u have same kits on land as water) from having cooldowns

So if I dont want to have my utility skill moved, i just need to not be on cooldown and dont have equiped any kit?
Why mesmers skills on cooldown dont do this? If I have that stealth clone on utility 1 and utility 2 in water, it remembers where it is,and just move CD to correct skill.
Only engi have problems with this, at least what I know.
I will definitelly try this evening on mesmers,war,thief and ele.

Thief, ele, war – skills are on right place,even skills on CD
Mesmer,engi – skills are moving on the utility bar by some unidentify rule,everytime i go to water and off,skill is still on CD, place is changed, its random placement

The rule I’ve noticed seems to be “If you have the same skill on your underwater and above-water skillbars, it will move to the same place.”

Example: Let’s say you have Elixir C on your skillbar both in and out of water. If you have Elixir C on 7 above-water, it will be on 7 underwater, and swap places with any skill that would otherwise have been on 7. If you move it to 8 underwater, it will move to 8 above-water, and swap places with any skill that would otherwise have been on 8.

Whether it works like this on other classes, I have no idea.

I always thought that your underwater and land skillbars were completely independent of each other. Never noticed a swapping of skills. Go underwater, set your bar just like you would on land. Next time you dive in your bar will be the same as it was when u set it underwater.

They’re 2 completely independent bars.
