I have found that the Trident provides amazing tankability under water. Combine with dodge, shelter, and it’s own attack skills, you can negate a lot of damage while dealing OK damage in return. I soloed a giant champion underwater wurm for a group dynamic event. While it took at least 15 minutes, I was able to negate most of it’s damage and cc’s by utilizing the Trident’s bubble, dodge, shelter, and a few of our class skills.
We don’t have super damage, but the things we can do, given time, are pretty awesome.
