Guild Wars 2

Noticed recently that whenever I go into water i lose my 25 stacks of blood lust or perception.

Just wondering if anyone is still running a stacking weapon of any sort? Or is it more viable to take a force or accuracy sigil instead?

They made some stealth changes to stacking sigils. Going underwater is now considered “unequiping” our ground set for our aquatic set. I think you can still keep your stacks if one of your aquatic weapons has Bloodlust as well.

“The bonus is lost when you are downed, when you travel to a different zone, or when you unequip the weapon.”

Like Highchu said, I can confirm that you keep the stacks if you have your underwater weapon equipped with the same stacking sigil.

IMO stacking sigils will always be worth it, as they benefit both weapon sets.
