Superior Sigil of Bloodlust bug?

[Andy.5981]

Nothing on the wiki about this and I've done a search on the Forum using the search feature but it didn't bring anything up.

I have a Necromancer who uses an Axe/Warhorn as one of his weapon sets. The Warhorn has the Superior Sigil of Bloodlust in it.

Now the sigil functions fine, each time I kill a foe it gives me +10 Power each time up to the max of 25 stacks.

However if I build up this stack on land and enter water. The stack remains. When I do this with my Ranger who has the same sigil fitted to his Great-sword, the stack of 25 +10 power gets removed. I've tested both characters in the same zone (Sandswept Isles) and the Necromancer keeps the stack when entering and exiting water, yet the Ranger doesn't. I've also equipped a sceptre with the same Sigil on my Mirage and it exhibits the same behaviour as my Ranger.

I've looked at the Traits of the Necromancer that I have equipped and nothing seems to be affecting the stacks from the Bloodlust Sigil.

So is this a bug?

Check underwater weapons do the necromancer got one with sigil of bloodlust and the ranger dont?

[DKRathalos.9625]

If you enter water and your water weapon doesn't have sigil of bloodlust you will lose the stacks. So you gotta give your underwater weapon sigil of bloodlust and you won't lose stack even if enter water. This is not a bug.

Thank you both for pointing me to the cause. Yes Necromancer has an underwater weapon with Superior Sigil of Bloodlust on it too, whilst the Ranger (and the Mesmer) do not.
