Is it me or do necros only have 1 underwater Elite Skill? The fact that wells dont work underwater doesn’t help me at all.

Not whining, just wondering what are my options for underwater elites as a human necro? My necro is my 4th lv 80 avatar.

Thieves can’t use anything but basilisk poison underwater as well. Warriors can use 2 of their elites, but the war banner is impractical because it requires solid ground to place it. So if you’re above it, you won’t get any benefit. Realistically the only elite warriors can use and still get a benefit from is Signet of Rage.

Not sure about other classes.

Stuff goes here.

@Kravick

Thanks for your input, but im only interested in necro at the moment. Do people use anything other than plague form? Can they? It seems no one wants to share.

FYI:
Engi = Elixir X, Supply drop
Mes = All 3, =.=
Guard = Renewed Focus

Edit: Just checked. Apparently no racial elites can be used underwater. Oh well.

You can summon the flesh golem on land and watch it sink to the bottom like a snitch with bricks chained to his ankles. When you watch it, be sure to put on the NY mobster voice “He sleeps with the fishes, see”

It’s momentarily amusing.

80 Necro (5), 80 Guard (4), 80 Mesmer (3)
80 Ranger (3), 80 Warrior (3), 80 Thief (3)
80 Ele (2), 80 Engi (3), 80 Rev (2)

Sorry, the only elite we have access to underwater is Plague.

I find underwater combat terrible in general, all the abilities I normally use are disabled so I’m forced to take minions just for the sake of ease

I’d be happy if the golem didn’t unsummon every time i fall in a puddle

The only way to play the engineer is to exploit it.
Playing the engineer “as intended” is simply not viable.

that’s funny because our only underwater elite kills all of our minions.

the fact that mesmer gets access to all of their minions underwater saddens me. I seriously get the feeling this game is only 60% finished sometimes.

Yup, i cant even use minions (death by my elite) and wells. so i just bring signets + Plague. Feels so wrong.

When i was playing a grenade engineer in WvWvW, i would always jump into the lake to turn the tide on attackers, because its harder to miss for me and because most people dont familiarize with underwater fights. Necros are the first profession i played which 95% of my traits are useless underwater.

Necros just dont like getting wet…
