The water elemental's upper body is that of a humanoid, while its lower body forms a turbulent, watery vortex. The facial features of the elemental creature are vague and shifting, rippling with every contortion of its face. Sloshing and splashing noises accompany each movement of the water elemental, along with an odd gurgling.

Hunting strategies

Most players avoid these enemies when possible, but those that choose not to would be advised to use any spells or skills at their disposal to prevent them from casting. Elemental Disjunction (530) can shred your defenses in an instant and Major Elemental Wave (435) is an SMR attack that can be tough for all players due to elementals' high level.
