So my puller keeps spinning under water instead of dropping down to a lower axis back down to the group, and in the process sometimes dies. What is the fix for this so he just dives straight down to the group?
 
I’ve had to set up camp at the bottom of the water, then take battle leap out of my warriors ini. Not sure if knights have an ability where you jump up, but if they do then take that out
 
Are you using MQ2Nav? What mode is your camera. Some camera modes won't let your character look down, but just moves the cameras view. Make sure you don't have any type of levitation up and always start as close to bottom as you can. I pull from underwater quite a bit, the camps are always open, so there is no pressure, but it can be a bit quirky at times.
 
Yeah, I park my team on the bottom and manually pull to them. Sic was kind with his words. Boxing underwater doesn’t kinda suck, it sucks big ole donkey balls.

I disagree with you and sic. It is all about where you set your camp, and where the mobs you are pulling are, relevant to your camp. To pull underwater you have to make sure the puller can look at their destination, that is how MQ2Nav and MQ2MoveUtils controls up and down movement in the water. A good rule of thumb is don't try and pull a mob that is not in LOS of camp. I found that the underwater landscape is not mapped very well, the bottom is the only part of the geography that you can depend on. I like setting my camp in the water and pulling mobs from land back to camp, your camp just needs to be set in a location where there is a smooth transition from water to land, and the water is deep enough that you stay submerged at all time during a fight.
 
Hey, Try making your camp and use "Hunter Tank" have the others in grp use chase. start with a small-med size camp circle and expand as u see fit. Works pretty decent in CoV and really helps when the named roots you as your grp will fight at that spot and not watch you die from afar waiting for you to come back to camp.
