Q:

I am confused. Please tell me what is wrong with this Sigil setup.

I have:
Long bow with Bloodlust (#1)
Long bow with Fire And Air (#2)
Speargun with Bloodlust (#3)

With #1 and #3 equipped I build my 25 stacks of Bloodlust.
My power on the Hero panel reflects the addition.

I switch #1 for #2 and lose the Bloodlust stacks and Power.

I switch back to #1, but still no Bloodlust stacks.

Why are the stacks not retained since my speargun has Bloodlust, too.
I thought that was the point of swapping out weapons with stacking sigils.
I hope you follow this. Like I said, I am confused.

A:

The weapon with the sigil needs to remain equipped if you want to keep your stacks. I’ve tried swapping the weapon with the sigil out for another with the same sigil while having a few stacks, but the stacks vanish still.

didn’t they fix it so you have to have the bloodlust sigil on your person at all times, so you can’t use your underwater weapon to retain stacks.

the only reason to put bloodlust on a water weapon set is so you don’t loose stacks while swimming.

So I would need to have Bloodlust on my Greatsword as well?
If so, will have to re-think using Bloodlust at all.
Thanks for the insight.
Oh yea, my utility weapon is Greatsword, lol.

You need to keep your stacking weapon equipped. Now if your zerg surfing you can keep both your bows on, just use one to make the stack the other to pew pew.

Or you can stack with your bow and swap it with greatsword that has bloodlust on it then you can use your LB with Air+fire. But once you remove a stacking weapon you will lose your stacks.

2nd option. have LB with bloodlust+air,, GS with Bloodlust+air, keep your GS equipped then you can swap to your LB with air+fire

Keep bloodlust on speargun so you dont lose it when you hit the water.

Thanks all, for answering my redundant question.
I think I am no longer confused; just disappointed. :/

Guess I want my cake and eat it too.
Thanks again.
