We know they can work on aquatic weapons in a least a timely manner what changes would you want to see?

Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.

I don’t really have any complaints about our underwater abilities, to be honest. They work pretty well as they are. The 2 skill is a little mediocre, I suppose. They could possibly increase the duration or damage on it.

I do wish spears could be used as a land set though. Spears are such cool and amazingly effective weapons, it’s a shame that they locked them out of 98% of the game.

The spear is fine, but hit boxes of underwater enemies tend to make what is already an awkward experience even worse.

But personally, I’d scrap underwater melee combat if I had the chance.

The spear is amazing. jab, aoe swirl, speed charge, throw spear, jellyfish zap.

I suppose my least favorite is throwing the spear. I almost never use it. But I find spear to be a very well rounded weapon.

I pretty much stick with the Harpoon Gun on my Ranger. The only time I switch to my Spear is when I need to smash cages. :P

66.6% of the game, underwater has 1/3 of the content available.

That being said the only change i would like to see is to make it so that we can move while using the 5 skill, and/or when we throw our spear instead of counterattacking that we pull ourselves to the target or pull them to us (preferably the second).

The only reason i suggest the pull is because when you throw the spear it leaves a rope behind in the rangers hand, so it just kinda bugs me i can’t do anything with that lol

It -IS- a pretty sexy pet… I really wish that my canines would be useable underwater though… Btw, did you know that Jellyfish have 2 combo fields underwater now?

PS: Does the #2 count as a whirl? And does the throw on #4 count as a projectile?

Really wanna know now because if not they should be, but if so, then jellyfish is that much better with a spear xD

i am not quite sure about that honestly honestly if all pets had the reactiveness and the damage in there F2 that jellyfish have it would make the entire class a lot better

Drakes have more damage, but the reactiveness and on-demandness of it are not there…

EDIT: Well underwater the drakes F2 is on par with the jellyfish one, which is kinda annoying when you think about it…. now that i think about it, all the pets underwater have really quick activation on their skills and all of them are pretty powerful.

Nothing, I love the spear. 1 has an evade like the greatsword, 2 reflects projectiles, 3 I use mostly as a travel skill, just like Swoop on the greatsword, 4 is a counter and a ranged attack, and 5 deals insane AoE damage. It’s great.
