Guild Wars 2

Sigil charges reset when I swap weapons that have stat charges sigils on them. This applies to both when using the weapon swap ` key or when changing weapons in the character menu. this didn’t happen before the patch. Please fix it.

Think its intended to lose stacks no upon switching weapons in slots as we can have 2 now on 2handers. To avoid losing stacks you can always put the same sigil on your primarly underwater weapon.

Hmm, let’s break down the two different situations here.

1. You have a Sword with a stacking sigil. You build up 25 stacks, then you unequip the Sword to swap in an Axe.

Result: Stacks disappear as the stacks are linked to the equipped sigil on the Sword. This is intended and working properly.

2. You have a Sword with a stacking sigil. You build up 25 stacks, then you weapon swap (`) to your other currently equipped weapon, a Hammer.

Result: Stacks should remain as the Sword with the sigil is still equipped, just not currently held. If your stacks are disappearing, this is a bug (although I haven’t encountered this myself.)

A third potential situation I encountered once:

3. You have a Sword with a stacking sigil. You also have a Spear (underwater weapon) with the same stacking sigil. You build up 25 stacks on the Sword, then you unequip the Sword to equip an Axe, but you still have the Spear with the same stacking sigil equipped.

Result: The stacks disappear. This happened to me once with a Corruption sigil on both my land weapon and my underwater weapon. I’m not sure if this situation is a bug; the stacks may be tied to the particular sigil on the equipped weapon, but I agree that in this situation, the stacks should remain.
