Guild Wars 2

So i added it on my GS over Bloodlust and it didnt increase the crit chance percentage at character sheet. Even if I unequip my GS my crit chance stays the same.

Anyone knows if it is bugged and doesnt work or it just doesnt show at your character screen?

From what I’ve read, the crit chance does not change on your character sheet, but it’s being applied behind the scenes.

The reason it doesn’t show on your hero screen is that the crit only applies to weapon skills for that weapon.

So if, for example, you do a Mantra of Pain, it doesn’t get the +5% that’s on your GS.

If it were a 1-h sword, the +crit doesn’t apply to your 4 and 5 skill either.

I was reading this and thinking “well that sounds stupid” (not your explanation, just the idea that it would work this way). Then I stopped to think about it a bit more and decided that it still sounds stupid.

What happens when you’re using a Sigil of Bloodlust and your character has a 25 stack power buff on him? Is the offhand weapon not influenced by that buff? If you switch weapons the buff remains; is that new weapon not influenced by that buff despite the buff still displaying?

And if they are influenced by the buff, I would say “makes sense to me”, but at the same time that would be strange because it’s not consistent with the functionality you’re describing.

Sigil of Bloodlust and the others like it gives you stats that are reflected in the character sheet, in the green ink part. The only wrinkle is the size of the buff is scaled according to the zone you’re in. For example, I have the Sigil of Perception that’s supposed to give me 10 Pre per stack, but right now I’m in Sparkly Fen, and only get 8-9 Pre for each stack, cuz I’m down-leveled.

Those stacks apply to all your abilities, and remain even if you go underwater or swap to the other weapon set.

In short, those buffs pretty-much work the way you’d expect them to in any other game (the one weird part is when you zone all your stacks are removed).

The Sig of Accuracy is a break in convention from other games, cuz usually if you see +5 % crit on an item, it means +5% crit on everything you do while wearing the item. sounds stupid yep.
