Guild Wars 2

I am working on the assumption that this is a bug, because the explanation of the change to bloodlust clearly stated that you would lose the stacks if you removed the weapon in an effort to use another weapon. It clearly states that bloodlust will not be stripped by a weapon swap. So PLEASE stop stealing my bloodlust stack when I am forced to enter water. This is ridiculous and appalling. This is a weapon swap, forced by the game, to a weapon that is not replacing my current weapon. There is absolutely no reason that entering the water for two seconds should cause me to have to re-obtain my stack. This has been going on for some time. And it needs to be fixed.

Put a Bloodlust sigil in your underwater weapon.

The thing is, the mechanics don’t work the other way around. If you build up Bloodlust stacks underwater, and then go onto land, the stacks remain. THAT’S what we’re all confused about. Either the land → water transition is bugged (stacks SHOULD remain, since you haven’t unequipped your land weapon), or the water → land transition is bugged (stacks should disappear, since you don’t have a Bloodlust sigil on your land weapon).

The info we need from ANet is: “Which scenario is bugged?”

(For the record, I’m not bothered either way, since I had stacking sigils on both my land and water weapons before the update anyway.)

I’ve never lost bloodlust going into the water but I also have bloodlust on my uw weapons as well. If you do not have bloodlust sigils on your uw weapons then you will lose the bloodlust. If you have major bloodlust on your uw weapons but superior on your land weapons you will lose bloodlust. A weapon swap is a weapon swap no matter if you swapped or it was forced. You can’t use land weapons uw therefore it’s your choice to enter the water. You’re not forced to go into the water.
