Guild Wars 2

So far, it seems that the stacking sigil recent fix updates are still quite messy, hopefully this is not the last one.

Tested perception sigil, gaining stacks on land and underwater, weapon(s) with sigil is always used:
Sigil on land and none on underwater weapon sets: Stacks lost on diving into water.
Sigil on land and underwater weapon sets: Stacks persist on both.
Sigil on underwater and none on land weapon sets: Stacks persist up to 24 stacks, on both land and underwater. On 25 stacks, stepping on land will remove the stacks.

Removing sigil from weapon set, while sigil on both land and underwater weapon sets (tested with 1 stack):
Remove land weapon with sigil, while on land: Stacks lost.
Remove land weapon with sigil, while underwater: Stacks persist, but lost on stepping on land.
Remove underwater weapon with sigil, while on land: Stacks persist, but lost when going underwater.
Remove underwater weapon with sigil, while underwater: Stacks lost.

My opinion about the stacking sigils: Stacks should be reliant on the weapon with the sigil, that was used to gain the stacks.

And well, now without sigil on both weapon sets, entering water is even worse than, it is now

Try retraiting while you have stacks. I don’t know what they want to do for stacking sigils. Just not worth the hassle anymore.

Are you actually meant to be able to stack like that ooc, is it sort of a bug they haven’t got round to fixing?

I’m just curious, it seems ‘wrong’ somehow to stack ooc and then enter combat. (I do it on my ele..it just doesn’t seem entirely intended.)

I’ve never bothered stacking between water though, as water is something I generally avoid xD

Hard to avoid water in WvW borderlands, especially when you are attacking bay.
