If you have a healer or a/b/s you're golden.
If you want to solo explore watery areas and don't know what form you're getting as a primary, going water/defense makes a lot of sense. If you get a good defensive form with super regen, that should be all you need. Water primary has a greater enliven which lets you go underwater with any form, so you can really do a lot with the right minor forms. Going defensive minor also lets you explore a lot of other areas outside of water as well. If you get the wrong water major form and find a lot of shit immune to your attacks, then you can still use your minor to smack things around, though probably not as effectively.
Gathering wands can be a bitch, though, depending on your locations and your forms.
