Guild Wars 2

I think the problem they had is with building stacks and SUBSTITUTING the stacking weapon with another. You can no longer build stacks and REMOVE the stacking weapon. You will have to keep it equipped but can use your weapon swap with the stacks, so you will be forced to keep a stacking weapon on all the time. Which seems logical and fair if you ask me, but AN didn’t so lets see…

If you lose your stacks swapping your weapons, somethnig that afaik is unique to Guild Wars regarding mmo’s, then ANET will become utterly legendary for counterintuitive game design.

Given how Master’s Bond works, I’m really not holding out hope. I suspect you will lose the stacks if you swap weapons, even if your second weapon has the same sigil.

The “correct” way for Master’s Bond to work IMHO is that you lose the stacks if the pet dies. The stacks should be retained through a swap. Same goes for stacking sigils.
