Didn’t it used to have a different set of skills to the blue jellyfish? or is it just an error in the skill stats for it.

Rainbow Jellyfish is a mechanical clone of the Blue Jellyfish, it only has a different skin because it is a HoM-exclusive pet, and if it had a different skillset, it would give a mechanical advantage to GW1 veterans.

All of the HoM rewards are purely esthetic, nothing more (except maybe the 50 AP per 5 HoM points)

All HoM pets are and have always been mechanical clone of core game pets.

White raven -> raven
Black moa -> pink moa
Black widow -> jungle spider
Rainbow jellyfish -> Blue jellyfish

I even wonder if they don’t share CD on their F2 ability.

No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

Varies from patch to patch. They didn’t when they were first introduced, then they did later on, then the f2 would appear to be on cooldown but you could still use it…. not sure where it’s at now.

Currently cooldown on chilling whirl is shared between rainbow and blue jellyfish. I noticed this in aquatic fractal last week when I mistakenly swapped my shark out for the blue jellyfish instead of the red jellyfish.

To OP: I’ve used jellyfish for underwater combat almost exclusively since release and it’s always been a reskinned blue jellyfish.
ANet changed how the jellyfish look a couple years ago but the skills haven’t changed. Though I think they did it backwards as the rainbow jelly is mostly blue and the blue jelly has a rainbow. >_<
