Guild Wars 2

Thief is very restricted when it comes to underwater combat compared to other classes. Thief hardly has any ablities to use, especially some that makes no sense that are unavailalable.

why can’t we use blinding powder stealth? (It can be a gas stealth.)
Why can’t we use caltrops when engineers can use it. (looks,like a cloud of red gas)
Shadow refuge can be a circle.
Smoke screen can be black goo.
Daggerstorm can be tornado storm, you can be a tornado and deflect projectiles.
Thieves guild should be able to be used. If I can summon them on land, then jump into the water, why cant I just summon them in the water?

traps are understandable to not work underwater.

Thieves suck underwater, we need our stealth.

well none of my ranger weapon skills work under water either.

That stinks, hopefully they belance it.

Right now engineer is OP underwater , I was unkillable with 5 turrets and auto locking grenades underwater.

I agree. I feel like all I can do is auto attack.

You unlock underwater weapon skills by using the weapon in combat, same as regular weapon skills. If they are broken I am sorry, they oughta be fixed asap. Underwater is poorly done, combat wise.

The OP was talking about utility skills.

Thie underwater is 2-2-2-2 with gun and 5-5-5-5-5-5 or 3-3-3-3- with spear.

They have to fix our utility underwater.

Melee 2 is a great skill in spvp. Actually, all melee attacks besides 4 is good. Why the heck does the skill 4 makes me unable to fight while my opponent just gets crippled a bit?

Rangers still have access to there pets underwater, and they also don’t lose anything but some shouts and traps, thieves lose almost all of there mobility and skills and stun breaks underwater.

Thieves also lose there F1 Ability. (Steal.) Underwater.

Rangers at the moment, are the strongest class in the game underwater. They simply cannot die, even with 4-5 players beating on them.

Correction: steal works underwater, unless you’ve stolen an ability that can’t be used underwater.

I think our spear skill is actually good for solo PvE. I’d love to have a block skill on land as well. After that though, the harpoon has a bare minimum really. There’s just not enough in the weapon sets for fighting large groups of underwater enemies. Our side skills are reduced to a bare minimum. With so many land based abilities forgone when underwater the trait lines can become mismatched too. Worse than all that, the combats become really boring …
