Guild Wars 2

I have a condition/trap build Ranger. Right now I have a short bow w/Superior Sigil of Earth and a Axe w/Superior Sigil of Earth and a torch w/Superior Sigil of Earth. I know these share cool downs with each other on my axe/torch combo, but do they share with the short bow also? I have read about it but I still don’t fully understand how this works.

I was also wondering what you guys would suggest as far as my setup goes for sigils.
If it makes a difference I run with a full set of Rune of the Undead on my armor.

thanks

Not 100% of an answer you’re looking for, but if you’re runnign a torch, can I suggest http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil_of_Smoldering for you so you don’t double up your sigil on the Axe / Torch (as you already know, that’s not helping you.)

As to having the sigil on CD with weapon swap, I wouldn’t worry about it unless you are very rapidly swapping between the two sets because of skill CDs.

Consider changing the Sigil on your Torch to any of the following:

Sigil of Smoldering (if 10% Burn duration is enough to make the breakpoint of a full second)
Sigil of Corruption (for more damage)
Sigil of Accuracy/Precision (for higher critical chance and therefore more procs)

Now on the sigils that count up on a kill like corruption, do those count up if I have it on my torch and actually get the kill with my axe ? Also does that bonus condition damage carry over when I switch to my bow ?

Yes. The requirement is just that the weapon is being wielded.

Yes.

You can unequip the weapon with a stacking sigil and still keep the stacks.
