Guild Wars 2

As the title says, there appears to be no underwater elite skills for the elementalist, I understand tornado is supposed to turn into a different spell but I seem unable to place it on my bar whilst underwater and it doesn’t just magically appear there if it really is the only elite spell we have that works underwater (which seems a bit naff only having one – but I’ll take a single spell with no ability to swap around over an empty skill slot that can never be filled!)

Sorry if this has been reported before, couldn’t get the search function to work for some reason and the titles didnt seem to show anything similar in the first ten pages!

I’m really surprised this didn’t come up in all their testing. Surely someone made a human elementalist who made it past level 30 and explored underwater.

At first I thought it could be a balance issue, and that someone— somehow— might have thought, “You know, elementalists have such awesome skills underwater already, why do they need an elite?”

I see now, however, that this is only an issue with humans. All other races have racial elites underwater. Perhaps this explains why it was (presumably) overlooked for so long, and by the time anyone noticed, they probably had higher priorities or something.

Surely they’ll fix this soon, as they’ve already stated that they don’t want your choice of race to be affected by the racial skills (in terms of balance, at least). As it stands, the obvious choice for an elementalist would be “anything but human.”

None of the Elementalist Elites work under water. Nor do any of the Human Racial Elites.

As Harmon stated, it was probably overlooked. Honestly humans should have one elite that works under water.

I’m a Sylvari, and none of my skills work there either, the racial one to place a load of plants wouldn’t exactly fit right in water :P

Although just checked the wiki and it says they do… but they all have the crossed out water sign to me ingame and the one I picked that the wiki says works there doesn’t seem to be allowed underwater (as I said, I don’t have any skills there!) so should these skills work there and don’t? The elite slot doesn’t even have an up arrow underwater to show me available or unavalable skills when underwater.

Yet on sPvP we get an underwater kind of the tornado.

I play a Human Elementalist and I have the same problem: works only in PvP, not anywhere else. I bought the Tornado only for this :-(.
