Guild Wars 2

on main hand and offhand = +10% crit chance or +5% crit chance?

Any1 knows?

Although I haven’t tested it, I think it is just 5%. The sigil only works when being used. So when you hit with skill 1,2 or 3, your mainhand will have 5% change if the sigil is on the mainhand weapon. But if you hit with skill 4 or 5, your offhand will have 5% change if the sigil is on the offhand weapon. So it won’t stack, but putting it on both has the effect that it works on all 5 weapon skills.

It’s supposed to increase your overall crit chance (regardless of weapon).

To be honest I find this sigil bugged. I carry two as well, however I notice that if I unequip all weapons and measure the increase of crit chance I get when adding each, I don’t get anywhere near what I’m supposed to.

for example, my dual axes give +64 precision and supposedly +5% crit chance with the sigil. When I equip one axe, I only get 3% crit chance added. When I add the second axe I only get another 3% total. I am watching my Hero tab to monitor the percentage change.

I should be getting +10% from the sigils and a small increase in the 128 precision that I gain, yet I only get a total of +6%. Bugged I tell ya.

Alot of things that add crit chance in game dont show on the hero tab. However they work. It is easily tested in heart of the mists.

How exactly do you test this?

The Hero panel should reflect all stats, otherwise it’s pointless. Oddly enough, my crit is about 54% without boons and sometimes it feels I have near 100% crit. (Wish I had that kind of luck with MF.. I’m sitting at 180-200 and rarely get anything of significance).
