Guild Wars 2

You can have two sets of weapons, but do you keep the bonuses from everything, or only the current weapon set you have equipped? I assume only the current set equipped, but wasn’t sure since you have both sets equipped on your equipment screen.

Correct.

It’s only from the current weapon set equipped. You can see for yourself by swapping weapons while watching the equipment screen.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. For some reason it didn’t occur to me to check this by swapping and looking at my stats… lol

An exception to that is the sigils that build up on kills such as bloodlust. If you build up a bonus stack with one weapon set and then switch to a different weapon set, that bonus remains active.

You’re right Orion. Sigil stacks also remain active even if you unequip the weapon.

Speaking of sigils, their bonuses affect both weapons in your current set. Sigils equipped in an off-hand weapon affects attacks with the main-hand weapon, and vice versa

just building this further.. apart from sigil stacks, are there any other stats that remain after swapping weapons?

for e.g. if i have a two hand, and then a MH + OH for my second weapon set. only the stacks remain? what about a passive (e.g. +5% crit) on my OH or MH while my 2h is active? i assume the +5% crit is only active when i swap to that set and only my OH skills are affected? or all skills?
