Guild Wars 2

Actually i really like the Underwater Combat, but not with my Main Class Necromancer.
It´s really a pain, as a Minion Master.
Every time i jump into the Water, diving for harvesting nodes , or doing events or simply fight some mobs, every Minion disapears , only the Blood Minion stays “alive”.

My meatshilds are gone, my dmg drops down and as a MM i´m feeling like a ranger with only one pet :P

But even if i´m not fighting, its just annoying to resummoning the whole crew up.

Exp. On Land having a Fight, Mobs down , Minions almost all down , resummoning , walks a while , jumps into water , minions gone, comes out of water, resummoning again duh

Maybe i was just dreaming, but in the Betas i remember, all minions where swimming under water !?

Sorry, for my english , its not my first Language.

You’re absolutely right. Every build archetype should be viable both on land and underwater. So far, minions and wells are basically nonexistent underwater. I feel that’s a tremendous oversight on Anet’s part, but considering the focus on underwater combat, they’ll probably fix it soon. I have both faith and patience.

The only mobile minion who can’t swim is the Flesh Golem (which does need to be fixed). It’s part of why I roll Minion Master for Orr.

This. It may be that your minions are not in the same slots on land as underwater?

Wow. If this is actually the case, I’m going to punch myself. Hard.

Oh my, thats it >< hitting myself , thank you, this is helping me a lot !

As i jumped into the water, every minion slot greyed out , now i simple checked them again, and slotted the same minions as on land, and it worked.
I was just thinking the whole time its bugged : /

To bad, the Flesh Golem doesn´t work under water, maybe my Post isn´t not so bad and useless at all and Anet fix this Golem Swim Problem !?

Yep. Punched myself.

Am I the only one who thinks not being able to use flesh golem underwater is stupid? I know you used to be able to during one of the beta events. The fact it puts the minion on cooldown even if i just dip in the water for .5 seconds on accident is extremely annoying. I don’t see why I should have to avoid water like it’s a plague as a minion master….

I’m almost positive that’s just a bug. They should fix it soon, it would be preposterous for them not to.

oh come on ppl a Scorpion swimming like creature? think before you talk. You really think its normal to see those small minions swim without needing air? thats the reason why the blood minion can. No lungs no need for air.

I really don’t understand why the flesh golem can’t be used underwater.

I mean.. why not ? Was there an actual reason for it?

It is a bit silly really. There is no reason I can see why we can not use him underwater.

Perhaps the charge ability caused buggs in 3 dimensional environment such as underwater settings.
