Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t trigger flame blast when underwater. Tested over several fights underwater with multiple enemies at a time. It never shows up once in the combat log. 47% crit rate btw. I can usually expect it to proc on land every 6-7s.

Is this a bug or intentional?

i konw they had adjusted a few sigil’s and runes for underwater fighting but i do not recall what ones they were was suppose to not let them proc underwater anymore. this might have been 1 but i am not sure look around a bit maybe was just a unlucky streak even if you have 99% proc rate theres always that 1% chance to do nothing. (in my case thats always lol).
i know they did fix somthing with fireblast not being able to shoot behind you anymore that to coulda messed up the sigil proc underwater.

Definitely isn’t a matter of bad luck. Fought too many mobs with too high of a crit % and multi hit attacks (warrior spear) for that to be the case.

Did some testing with superior sigil of air and it also does not proc underwater.

hmm well it might well have been part of the fixes they did to underwater fighting then, like i said before im not positive what runes/sigils they adjusted but they did state they removed the ablity for some of them to proc underwater.

When will this be fixed? If not, refund me the gold I spent on my sigil.

sigil of fire, hydromancy, and geomancy do not work underwater -maybe because they lack an underwater animation.

Rune of balthazar does work underwater though -which is weird.
