Guild Wars 2

Before I use more money, if I have a weapon with a stacking sigil on it, and I max it out does that mean if I switch weapons the sigil won’t be in effect? or does it stay stacked and active switching or not?
And if i have superior sigil of fire on my offhand pistol and have force on my dagger can the effect of sigil of fire be activated with using the daggers attacks?

The stacking won’t reset untill you rezone or be downed. Switching weapon doesn’t remove the stack. So basicly it is useless in the situation you are saying. If you switch weapons often however and the stack is important to you it might be a good thing to have two.

The critical hit needed for the sigil of fire is activated with any critical hit, regardless if it is the main hand or off hand weapon.

I know the crit is required but if I used a dagger attack with the sigil of fire on my offhand pistol, would the effect activate?

and the stacking sigil is useless unless I have it equipped is that what you’re saying?

The answer to your question is YES.

Although the Sigil is set in main or offhand weapon, it’s effect it’s global. By this i mean that it will proc. on crit. in any of the 9 skills (if damaging skills).

The stacking sigil only adds a stack when killing a foe with the Sigil equipped on active weapons at that moment. If you swap weapons, the stack will not go away and gives u that boost, but does not increase the amount of killing.

If you are unsure about the effects, jump into the heart of the mists and try them there for free. It’s rather easy

You can switch weapons when you have maxed out the stacks. I see people carry an extra weapon with them to switch to after maxing out stacks.

For pretty much all other sigils, it doesn’t matter where the crit or attack comes from. It will still activate as long as it is not on cooldown.
