Guild Wars 2

Have we heard anything on if this is going to be fixed or not?

Getting tired of losing my stacks every time I drop underwater. If it’s not going to be fixed soon I’m going to have to bite the bullet and buy a second sigil for an underwater weapon.

This is a really big problem on WvW border maps.

I love, when a bunch of enemies chase me, i jump into the water and they lose all their stacks.

I despise underwater combat.

you have underwater weapons, put a sigil on one of them

Working as intended as they fixed a sigil bug/exploit

Nope, I tested it, you can retain the stacks, IF you don’t have sigil on land weapon but have one underwater weapon.

Up to 24 stacks, you retain them, dive into water or get out from there, even if land weapon set has no sigil. Now that’s silly.

Highlighting: Up to 24 stacks, and having sigil on underwater weapon set but not on land weapon set, you retain the stacks, even if you quickly switch between land and underwater

More like the intended function: Stacks can be gained with same weapon, same sigil, any extra sigil will not give you stacks. Only unequipping the used weapon with sigil removes the stacks.

This happens because players kept exploiting the stacks with fighting underwater monsters with a aquatic sigil weapon and going back to land with a +dmg digil.

That’s neither here nor there. This isn’t about underwater combat, it’s about what happens to your stacks just travelling through water whether you fight or not.

I know why it was done, I’m just saying the solution they came up with sucks, especially as it’s very difficult to ensure that you don’t drop below the surface even if there’s only a very slight drop into the water.
