How do you know what "it turned out to be" when it hasn't been released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Pretty sure this thread is about the new Mount Ability that's coming with the Anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the swim infusion useless. > > These are the comments I was looking for. That's why I don't think underwater skimmer will be a thing--as much as I'd love it. Maybe getting the Skimmer underwater will require a new Mastery , with collections to complete and a certain number of Swim-Infusions could be required for these collections.

Omnicron.2467 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Seems it is an underwater skimmer! From what I can tell it will be available for anyone who gets the mastery, and not as a birthday present for specific players https://www.pcgamer.com/guild-wars-2s-skimmer-mounts-are-going-underwater/?fbclid=IwAR3PKwBlVkUscmBZHzMQAfMcVgMfAoCTVFWBjsbvtIT9MyUFGjRZhRP38-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Woohoo :D I would have preferred an Underwater exclusive mount but still im happy we'll finally have a mount that is usuable underwater ^^ it's been long overdue. Now all we need are some additional upgrades to underwater combat, more usable skills and a few new weapon kits to flesh out the build diversity options there and it'll be perfect ^^ I have to wonder though. Why this ability and why now? Why was Skimmer chosen rather than a new mount? It might be a long shot but could we possibly be getting a new map that is largely water based in the near future?.. Skimmer pretty much gurantees that everyone with PoF will have access to an underwater mount now.. reasoning for why they didn't make a new mount for this ability. And since we'll all have an underwater mount travel speeds are not going to be an issue either which they currently are with underwater content. We know Cantha is coming so maybe this answers the question on how we get there.. we swim/ ride skimmers to it xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theros.1390 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Great news, indeed. :) I am sooo afraid about the collection we will have to complete tho. x) (because yes, to unlock the mastery, we must complete a collection, apparently ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This makes a Vashj'ir-like part on a Cantha map likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 "...complete a new collection to unlock the Skimming the Depths mastery..." Wonder what it will entail, and which Mastery Points it will use; likely PoF Mastery Points, I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memoranda.9386 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I mean, cool. This won't directly benefit me for a while, even assuming Cantha will have plenty of water areas. Glad that people are excited for it, though! ...Now to find something besides my Hummingbird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I don't care about picking quaggan eggs, killing kraits, opening sunken chests, seeking ruins around underwater, ask whatever researcher because Underwater skimmer!!!! :D GZ anet!

Yes I like the idea of a small piece of accompanying content. PoF masteries would be near certain since it will just tag onto the existing skimmer masteries I would think. > @"hugo.4705" said: > woooottttt woooooottttt yahhooooooooo clap clap =) > Thanks a lot @"Randulf.7614" !
