I actually agree with this. As a guardian I find myself avoiding water as much as possible. I’m mostly build around tanking so it always takes me a bit longer to kill things even on land than it would for most other players. That being said, the trade off is that I rarely die and am able to take on 5+ creatures at a time. Underwater it takes me FOREVER to kill even weaker creatures and that’s using the spear. The only real problem I have with this is it takes a big chunk of the game that could be quite fun and turns it into drudgery.
