Personally, I find the skill 'gills' to be next to useless. It is much faster to travel across water on boat and you can still breathe underwater indefinately using a bucket. Instead, I propose that this be replaced with a useful passive skill: quick draw. Basically, a small buff (maybe 15%?) to how quickly you can pull back your bow that scales with agility.

I say why bother with it when a simple bucket does the jpb almost as well. Seems a bit underwhelming to me

Ok, I agree that gills would be very useful for staying underwater forever IF you couldn't use a waterbucket to do the exact same thing

Using gills prevents you from having to switch the item you are holding, it is a very useful skill if used at proper times. It would allow someone to keep shooting at someone who is trying to dive, and switching to a bucket would make a gap in shooting time.

As others have stated, ranger is incredible in water. Having such high damage arrows, in an area where it is impossible to strafe is a deadly combo. While gills may be very situational, when you get into that situation; you are going to win.

gills is very useful, good for fighting in water for example, and I had already suggested a skill exactly called "quick draw" which was proposed to make the bow draw faster, and they tried doing that but it's too hard to code, and they just don't have the time to put in to a skill like that because they are working on so much already. But I wouldn't see why that would replace gills anyways.

Honestly, gills is probably my second most used skill, right in front of it being summon arrow. Gills has saved my life on many occasions, be it being chased by a pali or just building under water.
