Guild Wars 2

Well, did some tests, is about diving into water and getting out of there to land:

Ground weapon sets with stack sigil and underwater weapon set with stack sigil
-> Keep the stacks

Only 1 stack sigil on either weapon set
-> Lose the stacks

I’ve heard that this update is to prevent players from keeping the stacks if they swap away the sigil weapon from ground weapon set, while having a second stack sigil on one of the underwater weapons.

Note: You’d have to dive underwater to trigger this stack loss.

However, for basic builds that use stack sigils in PvE (Since there’s no way to get 5 stacks per kill in PvE), right now, it’s a huge disadvantage and annoyance to enter underwater, since you’d need to have two of the same stack sigils on both weapon set.

Do note that on swap sigils do trigger while in combat mode and leaving/entering water, so it’s treated as weapon swap.

Since this affects weapon sets that don’t exploit dual stack sigils.

Hopefully this is not an intended feature, I’d understand that you’d lose the stacks if you had only 1 stack sigil and unequip only that weapon from either set(Mostly the ground weapon set)
