Guild Wars 2

Say i put +10 bloodlust on my axe and get it to 25 then change to greatsword,does the sigil still kick in?

As atm i am not noticing the different in dmg when changing to the greatsword.
for instance say i do 2000 dmg on greatsword without the 25 bloodlust stack.
then i put the stack of 25 on using the axe,i still seem to do the same dmg on the greatsword.

This is why i’m asking on this forum am i able to do that,or do i have to put +10 bloodlust on my greatsword instead.

The “+stat on kill” sigils count as a permanent buff on your character (until you zone or get downed / dead). Even if you weapon switch, the buff will remain. Engineers who like to use the weapons granted by their class skills have to constantly deal with this. They’ll spam their normal weapons to get up to the x25 buff stacks, then they’ll weapon switch to an Engineer skill weapon and start slaughtering.

On a side note, you can only benefit from a single set of sigil buff stacks. If you’re getting +10 Power stacks, then that would prevent you from also getting +Condition damage stacks from another weapon. That’s something to always keep in mind.

Always a good idea to have an extra weapon for building stacks so you can switch a weapon with a bonus that works all the time once you have the stacks.

bloodlust stacks are applied to your character. but can only be from one source(weapon). when you kill smth while equipped weapon with sigil, it becomes source of the stack. then if you change or equip different weapon with sifil you won’t get any stacks till you switch back/equip the weapon you started the stack with. or lose stacks to reset source.

you can get 25 stacks with a weapon, and unequip it afterwards. stacks will stay till you are downed/change zone.

@Wiser with Age. i stack my bloodlust stacks with active flamethrower kit on engineer, so i’m not sure what are you writing about…

Ah. So they fixed that for Engineers. I just came back after taking many months off after ArenaNet hacked me off. People were talking about letting Engineers finally get the benefits of their standard weapon sigils when using class skill weapons. It looks like ArenaNet made it happen.
