Guild Wars 2

Trying to rez someone underwater is almost impossible unless they’re also rezzing themselves. A group of three of us were fighting Captain Cork in Malchor’s Leap, when one of us went down. Even with both of us rezzing him, we were barely making any progress except for when he was able to use his 4 skill (he had aggro and kept getting interrupted).

I’ve also noticed this a lot at Rhendak. People go down and unless they’re using #4, rezzing them takes forever and a day.

I know that underwater combat isn’t a priority, but isn’t there some way to make this a bit less difficult? It is possible to quickly rez someone on land even if they’re doing nothing – why is the health loss while underwater so much heavier? It seems like a bug to me.

It might have been intentional since you can rez much faster when you go to the surface. Underwater combat is complicated and wasn’t approached well enough. I agree with you, but there’s a reason why the HoT content is void of underwater combat.

Is it possible that he was poisoned? That slows down rez.
