Guild Wars 2

I tested underwater combat, both with condi gear (carrion) and power gear (clerics). The spear skills are awesome! With power, you get to choose from aggressive (melee with shiro) to cautious (use mallyx, attack at the far end of the 270 range while using the spear’s CC skills) and still do a bit of long-range damage when needed. With condi it’s long-range damage, with enough CC between spear skills and the legends to keep the range often enough yet not enough to be no challenge.

Two things I’d like to see changed though:

• allow equipping different legends on land from underwater. I noticed when I come up from the water I still had shiro+mallyx, even though I had changed legends when underwater from glint+mallyx.
• get rid of the second underwater weapon slot. It looks silly, and if you want weapon swap sigils to work there’s legend swapping already

Edit: the drowning skills are missing, I only had bandage.

Possible Revenants will get tridents as well? As you say, having weapon swap capability but only being allowed one weapon underwater is kinda silly.

Kinda disappointed with the aquatic Legend limitations. Was hoping we would get something unique to invoke for underwater combat. Like some kind of super special Krait, or Largos.

I would have liked trident better. there are better tridents than spears.

i agree with the manual swapping if we don’t use shiro+mallyx…. that’s annoying
but
having a weapon swap lets us at least have a stacking sigil on the second one to avoid losing stacks, along with being able to utilize on-swap sigils rather than swapping legends
so, i won’t complain about that being there
