Guild Wars 2

I’m curious as to how the sigils proc on weapons. Say I’m dual wielding axes, or axe/sword, and I put superior sigil of fire on both weapons. I feel like it would make sense that they would share an internal cooldown or sorts, but I’m not sure how it works. Would it be more beneficial to put the same sigil on both weapons for increased proc chance, or better to use two different ones?

“The mainhand sigil triggers before the offhand sigil. "

“Sigils that trigger on critical hits can trigger on any critical hits dealt by the player, with any skill. "

“A single cooldown is shared by all sigils. While the cooldown is active, no other sigil with a cooldown can have any effect. For example, if you are using a Sigil of Fire (Chance to cause flame blast on critical) on one weapon, and a Sigil of Battle (Gain stacks of might when you swap to this weapon) on another weapon in your other weapon slot, causing Fire to proc first, then swapping weapons before the 5 second internal cooldown from your Sigil of Fire has expired will prevent the Sigil of Battle from giving you might. "

This is basically what I was asking. Would I get more fire procs, by having it on both weapons? If say the mainhand doesn’t proc, then it will check the offhand? As in, if it’s on both weapons, I have a slightly higher chance of getting a proc? Or is the chance so low that it doesn’t matter?

iirc someone did the math and came up with the fact that with both sigils you would get somewhere like a 45-50% proc instead of 30%, but the internal cooldown renders the extra procs as moot

Thank you.

Was this done by design? Like did the developers mean for you to only be able to have one stack able sigil at a time be active instead of two different stacking sigils create their own stacks?
