Guild Wars 2

I’ve tried this sigil at dps trial golems, and it works fine on them. But it doesn’t always work as intended in pvp. It has 9 second cooldown, that’s ok, but even if i haven’t switched to that weapon with sigil for a while, sometimes it doesn’t trigger in combat.
What’s the reason, anyone know ?

are you using any other sigil ? sigils share an internal cool down so if an effect from another sigil triggers (like on crit), no other sigil will be triggered until the internal cooldown is over.

I’m using one for my staff(1st set), one for my scepter+dagger(2nd set)(dagger has sigil of earth)

I mean, with this build, the sigil is triggered each time i swap weapon set(ofc in combat), and it works as intended on test golems. But it doesn’t work like that in pvp combat. i wonder the reason. Thanks.

Try it without the sigil of earth, it should should 100% of the time.

Thanks it works now. btw, can’t i use any other sigil for off hand weapon without blocking this sigil’s usability ?

If you’re using some kind of trigger sigil in one hand, you can’t use that same type of trigger sigil in your other hand. For example, you could have on “on crit” sigil and one “on kill” sigil without any problems. Another options is using a sigil with a flat benefit. As an example, Sigil of Force for a flat damage increase isn’t a bad choice if you’ve really got no better options.

The only time that you can stick trigger sigils is when you’re using x2 copies of the same “on crit” sigil. By using them both at the same time, you increase the net % proc chance using a diminishing returns formula (which you can find in the Wiki entry). Basically you’re still only using x1 sigil for the purposes of proc cool downs, but you’re increasing the proc rate. For some builds and certain proc sigils, this could be worth it.

thanks, then i can use sigil of agony (++ bleed duration)

Yep, sigils that don’t trigger a cooldown shouldn’t effect each other in anyway other than stacking (agonys stack with themselves but sigil of force doesn’t)

Its when you get to ones that have cooldowns as all the sigil cooldowns are shared, so in your case after procing the bleed from sigil of earth you were blocking any other sigil cooldowns for 2 seconds so if you where swapping weapons to trigger geomancy during that 2 seconds it wouldn’t trigger as it would be on “cooldown”

I tried sigil of accuracy for my off hand weapon(as a passive sigil) but it didn’t increase critical chance by 5%. Looks like i have another question

From what I heard, the sigil of accuracy works but its not shown on your stats screen. Best way to test it is by doing 100 attacks on golem and compare the amount of critical u get

What sutcliffe said, the sigil of accuracy IS working it just isn’t shown in your hero stats window
