Water Magic
From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
“No inherent effect. Many Elementalist skills, especially spells that deal cold damage and slow or hinder your foes, become more effective with higher Water Magic.
— in-game description
Water Magic is an elementalist secondary attribute.
Notes[edit]
- Water Magic skills usually deal cold damage, making it more effective against foes vulnerable to cold damage.
- Water Magic skills are especially useful for slowing down/snaring melee foes (such as Warriors, Assassins) or opponents that are kiting.
