Q:

As a crit Warrior, I have an automatic trait that gives me a 33% chance per crit to apply a bleed with, as far as I know, no cooldown.

My question is if I have my weapon equipped with a Superior Sigil of Earth (60% to apply a 5 second bleed on critical, 2 second cooldown), in what way do those 2 chances to bleed synergize (or conflict)?

My theory is it’s one of 3 possibilities:

#1: Per Crit, I get 2 rolls:
Roll 1 is a 33% chance to apply a bleed
Roll 2 is a 60% chance to apply a bleed, but this roll is only done on crits every 2 seconds. I doubt this is the way it works because if it were I probably would’ve seen 2 bleeds apply with 1 crit every now and then when I get lucky.

#2: The sigil overrides the trait, making the Sigil pretty bad for me as I don’t have a choice but to have that trait.

#3: The 60% from the Sigil is additive with the 33% from traits, which I also doubt as I’m definitely not applying a bleed on 93% of all crits.

Has anyone figured this out? I know it’s an oddball question, and I did look on the Wiki and didn’t have any luck.

Resolved this on my own. It is definitely 2 separate rolls, I’ve seen just now 2 bleeds apply on one crit.

Thanks all.
