Even the Wiki isn’t coming through for me here, so I’m going to post this in the hopes that the community can.
A while back during one of my rare incursions into World vs. World, I found myself in possession of a Steal skill that wasn’t familiar to me. It took me a while to realize that it was from a Warrior that I’d used Steal on while underwater, during a fight to defend Bay. The skill, whose name I forget (and isn’t listed under Steal on the Wiki, even from NPCs), was essentially Eviscerate. I saved it for a while to show off to other people by linking it, then used it when capturing a tower to deal five digit damage on the poor champion.
Of course, that got me thinking. Is Warrior/Whirling Axe the only Steal skill that isn’t usable underwater and thus gets replaced? Most of the others seem like they’d work fine underwater, except maybe Healing Seed. Has anyone done any tests on this? Are there other professions that give different returns on Steal when you use it underwater against them? If anyone has the connections across multiple servers needed to pop down to Bay and test this out, that would be much appreciate to assuage my curiosity!
This would be a lot easier to test if Raid on the Capricorn was still a thing…
