Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t removes a condition underwater.
I encountered this bug in the underwater fractal and in orr underwater.
It’s just not removing condition while I use shout and i use 3 of them, For great justice, On my mark and Shake it off (which then only shake it off removes 1 condition instead of 4 condition i can really remove for the whole party)

it happens the same thing with Lyssa…once you are underwater you just dont get all the boons from the elite skill.

Is it meant to be this way or you actually have to place another Lyssa into the breathing mask?

You would need to put the lyssa rune into the breathing mask.

i don’t think it should be that way … It really annoys tho in the fractals for example when it’s very important for my build to be able to pull off conditions from party members

is it even possible to put rune in a breathing mask?!

Sure, it’s just another piece of armor. I agree that it is not ideal. It just adds another reason to avoid underwater combat. Of course that is not possible in fractals.

Yes, you can put runes on breathing masks, (but not orbs for some reason) and you need to understand that while underwater, your breathing mask replaces your helm, in the same way that your weapons are replaced. You wouldn’t expect your sigils to apply to your underwater weapons from the dry land weapons, when they aren’t even in use! Also, there are various karma vendors selling level 79/80 breathing masks with stats you may want, and at least two skins available in the game right now (so check this stuff out before applying your upgrades!).

Just be happy they didn’t require an entire set of underwater armor/wetsuits!

wow I haven’t thought that i need another rune for underwater mask as for helmet. it explains why the last ability of the rune “doesn’t work” lol
And i’m happy there are no underwater suits and swimsuits although they could add it for more sexiness and for beach parties :P (as town clothes of course)

As has been said, it’s a quirk with the design for runes. 7/6 is actually needed for a full set. Odd but that’s the way it is.

thank you guys!

heh, funny you should mention a separate underwater set. I’ve several times wished I had a dedicated underwater set. Not that I’d want to have to buy/craft it but sometimes a different rune set/stat set would be far more optimal underwater, and carrying around a second (well, third in some cases) set takes up so much space.
