Guild Wars 2

Was thinking about this today, does wielding a 2 handed weapon put you at a disadvantage in terms of number of sigil effects? Seeing as you can equip 2 when using an offhand weapon.

It could and does, yes. But the main thing you want to consider with your weapon is the abilities it gives you and making sure you’re play style and spec support those abilities. While 2 1hdrs might get the benefit of an extra sigil over 1 2hdr, also consider this; It’s always universally cheaper to buy one 2hdr versus 2 1hdr, be that with either coin, karma, or badges. Also, 2hdrs deal the biggest damage and you’re abilities that deal damage is based off the weapon damage of the weapon that ability is tied to, so at least with a 2 hdr you know all of your abilities are going to deal great burst damage.
