Hmm ye fucking hell we have got to do something about this urgent issue. -- DANDY ^_^ -- 20:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I remember people dropping Water Attunement for Aura of Resto but Eprism? I'm a little skeptical. --Frosty  20:52, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * With everyone running a dom mesmer + strip you can't keep up attune & MoI. This way you have a spike-defense skill and crazy emanagement. It's not run by everyone but it's a pretty viable alternative to MoI--TahiriVeila 21:26, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess mirror can be difficult to keep up, I think it may be time to make a Water Ele GvG bar, since really it's the same 6 skills. --Frosty  [[Image:Newsigfrost.jpg|19px]] 21:28, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * okay, doesn't really matter to me they all play pretty much the same--TahiriVeila 21:29, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I blame Scooms for this shit. Fuck France. --Lemming 10:06, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

K standardised Water Ele, go go 5-5-X. --Frosty  17:30, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also someone archive the other water ele things like MoI once this goes in great I cba getting burnout paradise for a 5 quid and MoH beta. --Frosty  [[Image:Newsigfrost.jpg|19px]] 17:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

What on earth? How did this became Meta in just 1 day?! Ju ze  10:02, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * i only just saw this, but lol.-- Oskar 15:46, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Shatterstone is viable right?--GWPirate 10:57, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Viable but inferior to MoI in every way that counts.-- Oskar 16:35, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

meta tags blah blah blah
The problem with having the meta tag represent everything is that this build really isn't meta anywhere in tombs. --Lemming 00:49, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * The previous meta tag didn't do any better, since it didn't distinguish anything. Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 00:58, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, write up the commonality section and it's less of a problem (people who don't read will still get confused, but who cares). Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 01:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Will that do? --Lemming 01:08, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that should be fine. <font face="Courier New" color="Black">Toraen <font face="Courier New" color="DarkGoldenrod">TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 01:14, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Water Trident
Why isn't Water Trident an optional? 98.203.174.102 02:00, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Because it sucks, water ele's in general suck. Better off with a crip shot ranger or something.

i agree water trident would be a good addition and the person above ^ crip shot rangers are cool but water eles are damn cold--71.227.216.157 08:11, 5 November 2011 (UTC)


 * It used to be an optional and IMO it still should be. Prism is all well and good but offers no offense. MoI is great for extra damage, but if you want pure snaring power it's Icy Shackles or WT. Icy is cool but it's one hex and partially conditional on an enchantment. Water Trident might not be so great against runners if they're AoSed, but AoS isn't maintainable whereas WT is spammable, WT offers diversity (so even if they have a PnH, Expel etc you can still snare) and it's *really annoying*. You can KD their frontline a lot and cause a lot of frustration, all whilst dealing damage. OK it's a projectile and I'd probably take MoI but I'd say it's still a viable option. Also Shatterstone, though I see why it's fallen out of use. Widow maker 14:04, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * On frozen isle, trident wins games...just saying ;) also, its ability to go through pre-veiling is unmatched and to split off and knocklock splits since splits don't have anti-knockdown.  It's a personal favorite of mine..though MoI beats it if you're just planning to stay at stand.  <3 WT in byob. Roland 17:49, 5 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Would probably have been nice with the recent Courier's Haste flux. Holding items making people move faster and lose hexes and conditions quicker means KDs are the best way to snare people. It's over now though :-( (WM) 86.27.25.124 17:31, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well lo and behold, it's awesome now, hits up to three targets. OK the secondary ones may well not be moving, but that's still up to 200% more potential carnage. Widow maker 19:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Added flux option
water ele's don't rely on an elite so have been running eliteless a few times, armor of frost is most common for a cover enchant + even more water magic, GoEP could work as well to be more aggressive. <font color="Black">Frostels 02:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
