Guild Wars 2

I noticed this before a Teq fight as I wondered around building my Sigil of Perception stacks.

However, my Harpoon Gun has a Sigil of Bloodlust. If I went into the water, even though I didn’t kill anything and just swam on the top of the water, when I got out my stacks were gone.

If I took the Harpoon Gun off and repeated this, they stayed. So the stack-removal is triggered simply by going in the water and not utilising the weapon-sigil at all.
I thought they would be removed only if you started acquiring other stacks.

Can’t we dip our toes and keep our stacks? It seems like it isn’t working as intended.

You lose stacks anytime you switch a weapon… apparently even if the weapon you swap to has the same exact sigil.

Ah, but I didn’t actually ‘switch’ weapon, I simply swam on top of the water.

For clarity: My underwater weapon was never held in my hand and no underwater skills ever appeared in my slots. I swam from one point to another without ducking my head.

Thanks! I’d have used the Search Bar, but we all know how that would end…

:)

Edit: Although technically I didnt go underwater like this thread supposes. Just swam on top. But I’m sure it’s all tied to the same thing.
