Say if I have TWO

Superior Sigils of Luck – Gain .6% Magic Find every time you kill a foe. (Max 25 stacks)

Do I get .12% x25 (or .6% x 50 how ever u want to look at it)? Or do I only get the .6 if I use a main skill or off hand skill etc? Same question applies to differing sigils. Say [Superior] Smoldering and Agony. Do I get the 10% bonus of each sigil at the same time, or only if I am using a skill for that weapon?

Sorry it was just confusing me a bit.

I know the sigils only stack to 25 and are a flat amount per stack. Not sure if having two would allow them to stack faster though … personally I’ve only ever used a power one (when leveling my warrior) and a luck one (on MF gear) … never bothered to try using two.

Either way, you’ll only ever get the 15% MF from a single stack of 25 though (you wont get 30% for having two sigils)

As for using two DPS sigils, not 100% sure but I think they act on the attack. So sigil’s in your main hand effect skills 1-3 and offhand 4-5.

They stack faster, but they will only go up to 25 regardless.

Can anyone confirm this info? Thanks for the replies.

I have two Bloodlust sigils(10pow) – you get two lots of 10 per kill and maxes at 25. Same goes for the Luck Sigil. They proc whichever skill is used on whichever weapon as well.

All sigils that are on a weapon affect all skills as long as the weapon is active. So if you have a sigil of earth on only a single weapon, even attacks with the offhand weapon will have a bleed chance.

- Sigils that trigger on critical hits can trigger on any critical hits; the critical does not need to be scored with the associated weapon’s skills. For example, a character with an off hand weapon imbued with a Sigil of Rage can still gain quickness with a critical hit with their first three skills.
- Sigils that have a chance to trigger on critical hits stack their chance percentages multiplicatively, not additively. For example, two major Sigils of Fire, which each have a 20% chance to trigger on critical hit, will have a 36% chance to trigger, not 40%.

Hope this helps.

Something else regarding stacking sigils I recently found out …

I have a precision stacking sigil on my longbow and a condition stacking sigil on my axe/warhorn secondary weapon set up.

I cannot have both stacks running at the same time. In other words, if I begin play using my longbow and start stacking precision, if I switch to my axe/warhorn, I cannot stack condition. Precision will remain as the only stack buff.

If I start play using the axe/warhorn and begin stacking condition, and switch to longbow, then condition will be the only stack running.

I spent a lot buying a superior sigil of corruption, thinking I could run 2 different stacks at the same time … Precision is more critical for my build, so now I will probably have to destroy the superior sigil of corruption in my axe with another sigil …

So what would be the % chance of to Superior Sigils of Earth on two weapons? (default 60% chance to cause bleed on crit)…

84% chance. Bah, it won’t let me say just that… got to draw the message out.

In fact, here’s the formula, so that this question never gets asked again, hopefully…

Stacked chance = 1 – (1 – % chance) * (1 – % chance)
Example, with 20 as the % chance: 1 – .8 * .8 = .36
Example 2, with 60 as the % chance: 1 – .4 * .4 = .84

How far that little candle throws its beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
