Guild Wars 2

I find using DS underwater so much more satisfying than on land.

Life Blast hits hard and transfers a condition, making me less reliant on condition removal in my build.

Dark Water is AoE poison and blind. Amazing to shred ball up Krait.

Wave of Fear: A 2 second fear that hits in a cone? So much better than Doom. And hits twice with the new Terror

Gathering Plague: an amazing support skill that builds conditions on you to transfer back to enemies!

Honestly underwater DS is so much more fun, and feels like the DS we should have gotten. Anyone agree?

Eh… I don’t like it…. So, eh, useless…

i wish there was an option to use the underwater version on land.

I like the water version as well.

I’ve always found it interesting that the Underwater version of Death Shroud #3 is pretty much strictly better than the on-land version. AoE and a longer duration than Doom. My secret hope is that eventually the two ability sets will be merged into one Death Shroud with essentially all the abilities of both sets that changes only slightly between underwater and on-land. It might be brokenly good though, just because of the insane versatility that would provide.

Oh I love the underwater fear. Feels like what we should have had on land. Even better it has a really nice animation with it.

I agree except I prefer DS#2 land instead. I would like it to do AOE bleed on too though. Already have enough poison options, and blind < chill imo

life blast transfering a condition would be nice
Doom should definetly be changed to the underwater version, so much better, not sure if the water one is usable while stuned like doom is though.
I kinda like the grasp just because it’s 2 stacks of bleeding and i already have plenty of poison between scepter auto attack and staff 3,

Honestly if D.S. was a stun break it would be good IMO, maybe too good, maybe not, mesmers have a bloody stunbreak on their staff 2 and distortion and cry of frustration can both be used while stunned to save you if you have 30 in the last trait line. or at the very least have the 30 point trait for the 3 seconds of stability stun break, only source of stability in the game that doesn’t break stun to my knowledge.
