Guild Wars 2

Post-April 15 Update: Superior Sigil of Bloodlust is bugged

I noticed that I don’t get bloodlust stacks while using specific weapons that have bloodlust sigil on them.

I’m running full berzerker mesmer, using Sword (Superior Sigil of Force) + Pistol (Superior Sigil of Bloodlust) in main weapon slot and Greatsword (Superior Sigil of Force + Superior Sigil of Bloodlust) in secondary weapon slot.

I get stacks when enemy dies while having sword+pistol in my hands but I don’t get stacks with my greatsword in-hand.

Hotfix:
It seems that if you unequip all your weapons to loose all stacks and re-equip them, you’ll get bloodlust stacks from both weapons.

NOTE: This is still a bug and an annoying one, please fix it soon!

There is a bigger bug with bloodlust than that. If you equip underwater weapons with a bloodlust sigil you won’t lose the stacks at all. So you can build a bloodlust stack (on land), unequip the weapon (still on land), and not lose the bloodlust stack in the process. Effectively, it means you can have the benefit of 2 sigils at the same time, just like it functioned before the update.

That’s technically an exploit, what I posted about is a bug that prevents stacking bloodlust in first place.
