Guild Wars 2

Hi,
Since the class balance update on 12/10, Arcane Wave has been changed and is now targetable. This sort of disallows it to function underwater as it used to. If you are underwater and not near the ‘ocean floor’ or the floor of the water, you cannot target anything with arcane wave to use it. So this is a decent problem for might stacking using a firefield and a arcane wave as a blast.

Is this intended or was this thought of?

I noticed this last night too. I like the land change but it rendered it totally useless underwater and I was pretty disappointed. My guess is they didn’t think of the underwater aspect of the change since it is pretty obvious it would be useless. Hopefully, they change it back for underwater combat as the skill was very useful underwater.

Arcane Wave works fine underwater. I use it to blast fields in the underwater fractal every day.

The Engineer toolbelt skill for the Rocket Turret has the same issue underwater.
