Guild Wars 2

Whenever I’m underwater and use Whirlpool, I don’t see any spell animation or anything. My character just turns invisible while I damage the enemy. Is this normal? What is everyone else seeing during this spell?

Ive only been level 80 for a few days, so I might not know any better. But it seems my server feels (eradon terrace) really dead. I go to Ruins of Orr areas and theres nobody there! Lucky being an elementalist, i was able to zerg around the map and explored all 3 zones. But I haven’t really done any events there besides 2 Balthzar runs (one was a wipe). No one does Lyass or the other one in Cursed Shore.
I watched youtube for some karma farming guides. All of them suggest to do chain events at Cursed Shore starting at Caer Shadowfain and make your way down, but I can’t solo them. Also, the event at Penitent WP (where the NPCs are building some structure) has been stuck at 70% for 2 or 3 days. I see some ppl farming there on the waves of risen for drops like crafting mats and some rares/greens. Thats not really for me anyways. The only karma vendor that I’ve seen is the Balthzar one.
The 3 dragons are the only events that I can do since people actually come for them. But spending 20mins on 300 karma doesnt seem to be worth it.
Dungeons seem to be pretty fun. Ive only done CM and AC. I have trouble finding people to group up. I used http://www.gw2lfg.com/ for a group and I dc-ed, so I couldnt get back in the same instance as them -_-
So really, not really sure what to do in the game anymore. Can’t be running around chasing dragons forever.
