Guild Wars 2

I have a weapon in my main hand, and a weapon in the off-hand. In my main hand, I’m using a Superior Sigil of Bloodlust. What kinds of sigils can I put in the off-hand which would still be effective?I found out the hard way that two stat-stacking sigils don’t stack and wasted a little over 1g finding that out.

Will the Might-stacking sigils stack with bloodlust, like the Sup. Sigil of Strength? Thanks in advance for the help!

basically any 2 of different types will stack, however how effective they are during stacking depends on many situations.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil details of behaviour at the bottom will give you the exacts (as long as there 2 different types the issue then becomes internal cooldown)

So, you can only have 1 ‘on-kill-type’ sigil at one time, and only one ‘on-critical-type’ sigil? Is that correct, or can you only have one or the other?

Also, if I stick something into the aquatic weapon slot, is it only effective while I’m in the water and using it, or is effective even on land?

yeah you can have 1 on kill and one on crit sigil as they are seperate types.

Sigils on underwater weapons only work when your underwater and using that weapon (in the same vein sigils on your regular weapons do not work underwater or while not using them)

If I have a Bloodlust on, say, sword… and Perception on hammer… can I build 25 bloodlust on one, switch weapon sets, and build 25 perception on the other?

nope, once you gain a stack with any of the on kill sigils that stack will stop any other stacks from accumulating until it goes (from travel/death/logging)

You can only ever have 1 on-kill sigil stacks active at any given time.

You can actually have two of the on-kill-stack sigils. They just have to be the exact same ones. Then you’ll get two stacks per kill instead of one. Handy if you like to build up a 25 stack with one set of weapons, then switch to different weapons.

The on-critical sigils will stack, sort of. Both can proc, they just share the same cooldown, and the main hand sigil has priority. So if you had a sup sigil of fire on main and sup sigil of air on the offhand, 30% of crits the fire sigil would proc. That would cause a 5 sec cooldown preventing either sigil from procing. In the 70% of the crits where the fire sigil doesn’t proc, the air sigil has a 30% chance to proc. So the net effect is 30% chance for the fire sigil, 21% chance for the air sigil, and 49% chance of no sigil. (The missing 9% chance on the air sigil is when it’s been suppressed because the fire sigil proced and started the cooldown.)

The shared cooldown means though that you don’t want to mix something like a sigil of fire (5 sec cooldown) with a sigil of rage (45 sec cooldown). The long cooldown on the rage sigil would mostly nullify the effectiveness of the fire sigil.

I’m not sure how other effects interact. But given that two of the same stacking sigils works, I would imagine both sigils will work fine so long as they don’t have a conflict (e.g. different stacks, or shared cooldown). Someone should test two different on-weapon-swap sigils and see if you get both effects upon swapping.

Might just do that. I’ll report back what happens.

Edit:
Got 25 with one weapon set, switched to the other… nada. Nothing. Nowt. Stayed at 25.

Each kill only netted one even if I swapped weapon mid enemy.
