Guild Wars 2

1st weapon set:
Axe: “on crit” sigil (CD 5 secs)
Warhorn: “on swap” sigil (CD 9 secs)

2nd weapon set:
Staff:
SAME “on crit” sigil (CD 5 secs)
SAME “on swap” sigil (CD 9 secs)

Crit chance: 60%

My question:
With a high crit chance I expect the “on crit” sigil to be triggering often and nearly always on CD.

Does that mean the “on swap” sigil would be a poor choice, because the chance of it actually triggering during a weapon swap while it WASN’T on the “on crit” CD is very low?

I suppose I could just count 5secs after the last “on crit” trigger, or even stop attacking for 5 secs, but that’s just silly :P

Edit: I just remembered that swapping weapon sets during battle has a 10 second cool down anyway. This should be enough for the “on crit” sigil of the 1st weapon set to have finished it’s cooldown by the time you can swap back to it (allowing the “on swap” sigil to be triggerable).

Can anyone confirm?

The on crit CD has no effect on the on swap CD and vice versa. Different sigils no longer share cooldowns. A major and a superior are still considered to be the same sigil for cooldown sharing.

TY Khisanth! That answers my question
