Water Magic

“

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

• 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.
