Guild Wars 2

I know that Stability grants protection against many effects but I wonder should Hallowed Ground be unusable underwater? Stability is great and it is a very good skill but since the Stability effect grants protection vs. float and sink but you can’t protect yourself from it underwater via this skill. The Sanctuary skill is also a consecration skill and can be used underwater so I see no reason for this to stop Hallowed Ground doing the same. You may have to redo the animation on it but that should be no problem, Whirlpool for the elementalist was looked at so why not this?

Thanks for reading!

Sanctuary creates a dome, a bubble unterwater. Hallowed Ground is a flat plane affecting those who stand on it. It would be created on the floor of the body of water you’re in, making it rather useless. This is a technical limitation of all skills that create flat areas.

Not exactly true since you can use Purging Flames underwater. I think Hallowed Ground should be adapted to work in the same manner. Also, Engineers can create a Wall of Reflection underwater at a targeted enemy with Toss Elixir U, but we can’t use Wall of Reflection underwater at all. That always bugged me, I might make a suggestion post about that.

Hallowed Ground is like every other one of these a perfect sphere and not a flat plane. It can be placed whereever. The main difficulty lies in its display

Sure it can be construed as a technical limitation but they created it from scratch, they can change it. As said before, Whirlpool was changed so there should be no problem switching this to be more effective.
