Guild Wars 2

I know it has already been discussed, but I still have a few doubts:

I’m running D/D and P/ on my thief. The off-hand dagger has a Sigil of Leeching and both D/ and P/ has Sigil of Geomancy.

I expected that, when I swap weapons, I would inflict the bleeding (Geomancy) and steal some life on the first hit (Leeching), but that doesn’t happen.

Is there a way to make this work? And why doesn’t this work?

Pretty sure the geomancy ones share a cooldown, they may all in fact share a cooldown, I can’t remember right offhand if leeching has a cd (pretty sure it does,) but anything that has a global cooldown shares it with other sigils of similar function. So you using 2 geomancy sigils is actually putting a double cooldown on your sigil, and if you’re using a leeching one on top of that it’s not going to work at all. Thats why when mixing sigils you use 1 with global cooldown, and the other one with either a flat stat (like sigil of force > +5% dmg across the board passive effect) or a stackable (chargeble) sigil that gets charges on each kill.

Nay of the Ether.8913:

Thank you. I will try Corruption instead of Leeching.

yep all sigils with a cooldown, share it.
