Guild Wars 2

Why are swap sigils’ ICD 9 seconds instead of 10 which is standard swap time? Well it’s probably because the old runes of the warrior had -1 sec on swap and they didn’t want those runes to ruin ICD of swap sigils. Now that rune of warrior has been changed to -20% instead of -1 second, shouldn’t the ICD be changed to 8 seconds? I’d like to experiment with those runes but they are utterly pointless if I can’t synergize them with weapon swap sigils.

Because it ensures that you proc the sigil effect every time.

yea but 10 seconds would do that too so the only reason I can see it is 9 instead of 10 is to account for warrior runes which have been changed now to 8 sec swap.

9 seconds instead of 10 is probably to compensate for any lag or other minor delays. The reason they added a cooldown in the first place is probably to ensure that Warriors don’t benefit that much more from it than other classes.

…oops

ANet? Nerf Warriors? Next you’ll tell me its the ilerminaty.

does fast hand stack with the warrior runes -20% ?

i.e. fast hands = 5 seconds
does equipping the warrior runes -20% makes it 4 seconds?

and yes, 8 seconds for swap sigils would be nice though.

Yes, it makes it 4 seconds weapon swap. I didn’t really see a use for it though when I tested it.

Aye thanks! Yeah the 5 seconds is already very good and works nicely with swap sigils.

Because Ele and Warrior traits gets some more depth

some of you aren’t reading the OP just the subject title.

I’m saying it should be changed to 8 seconds now that runes of the warrior make weapon swapping 8 seconds instead of 9 like they used to. So runes of the warrior actually make weapon swap sigils LESS effective.
