Guild Wars 2

So underwater… I barely feel like a thief. I believe there are exactly 2 ways to achieve stealth: There is a trait that makes you invisible if you steal, and then Hide in Shadows.

(If there are more, tell me!)

Is it so unreasonable to let thieves use daggers underwater? Dagger seems like an obvious underwater weapon if ever there was one.

Alternatively could we add some more slot skills which are usable only while underwater to make up for the vast number of other skills that get X-d out while we’re down there?

Anyhoo, just a thought.

I feel you dont really need stealth underwater given how powerful spear is. Its evade+burst combos are really great if forced to fight underwater. Think like spear is s/d and harpoongun is sb and it feels pretty thiefy to me.

Most just use harpoon to get out of water to get back to normal combat. Though now i kinda wanna try some underwater duels in wvw for lols/boredom sake.

Thief has like the worst underwater abilities in the game… Try fighting a warrior underwater vs thief lol.

or mesmer (can’t do anything, just lie down and die)
or ranger (you can down him but can’t kill him nor stomp)
or engi (i don’t even wanna go there)….. :|

oh and thieves got blessed with that amazing underwater spell that pulls them to target while stunning them (the thief, not the target) basically helping enemy to reach you and stunning you so enemy can kill you easier… all at measy costs of 4 ini, because why not~

now that i think about it, for some reason thieves are so suicidal, their spells and traits are just designed to get them killed (last refuge, tow line lol)
