Corruption stack disappears on weapon change

[TobyTucker.5317]

Previously, I would build up corruption with one weapon and then switch to another that didn't have a sigil of corruption and I would still have that 25 stack of corruption. Now when I make that same weapon switch, the stack of corruption vanishes. Is this a bug or did I miss a game update?

Are both land based weapons or do you have your corruption on a underwater one?Must have one in each sets underwater and land to keep them.

I don't do a lot of underwater fighting so that's irrelevant. Sure, you need corruption on your weapon to build up the stack, but once obtained, you kept it no matter if you switched to a weapon that didn't have it or had something else that stacked. The only way you lost it is by getting downed or switching maps. Worked that way for YEARS. Now it doesn't. I'm just wondering if the change was intentional or not.

Wait are you talking about you have lets say sword sword with battle earth in weapon set 1 and mace shield with corruption battle in weapon set 2

By switch do you mean you build stacks then take away your mace with corruption and take another weapon with sigil there?

That was changed years ago ( and yes it was intentional) you will still have the stacks if you dont take away the mace with corruption from weapon set 2.

You lose the stack also when you switch from a land combat to underwater (if your underwater weapon doesn't have the same sigil - and this weapon must be the one you have as soon as you hit the water). So he asked just to be sure you didn't experience this.

From the wiki: You can only have one attribute stacking bonus at a time. The bonus is lost when you are downed, when you travel to a different zone, or when you unequip the weapon. Unequip includes switching to and from underwater weapons while not having the identical sigil in the weapon sets that you start using (this means player only need 2 same sigils to keep the stack; 1 sigil on any land weapon, the other on any underwater weapon).
