Guild Wars 2

I didn’t want to post this in the bug thread yet because it might be user error, but I recently wanted to test out sigil of superior doom (the sigil that procs a poison on your next attack after weapon swap) on my condi ele.

I was only able to get the sigil to proc when going into earth attunement. I tried multiple tests, made sure I was in combat, and made sure to wait long enough to ensure I wasn’t just on ICD.

Has anyone had any success with this sigil? Is it just a bug with the test dummy’s maybe?

When I got it to proc it was ticking for about 200 a second for 5 seconds, so not a bad DoT at all.

Thanks in advance!

or maybe it’s because elementalists can’t swap weapons in battle? i’m sure it works fine :P

Hi, I’m an Mesmer.

This sigil isn’t working for me either an any of my weapons. I run Staff and Scepter/Sword (sigil in scepter). When I swap to the scepter and sword I never apply poison on attack.

Can anyone else test?

ele’s swapping attunements is considered “Weapon swap” I believe. I might be wrong on this, but from what I was reading this is the case.

@ Spectrox.9762

You are correct hun.

I had a staff that produced bleed on weapon swap (cd 10 seconds)
Animation was of “Ring of Earth” (extremely noticeable animation ^^)

I was surprised from, Where the **** “Ring of Earth” came from when I was swapping Fire → Water in STAFF….then I read the sigil XD

Such sigils are really cool on Elementalist D/D

Well first off, “on damage”, “on kill” and “on swap” sigils all share an ICD, so if you’re using more than one that’s your issue.

Secondly, I had the same issue with the sigil. More specifically, I would swap and I would get the buff icon letting me know that my next attack would poison, but then it never would. I tried on a necro and it worked as advertised (switched weapon, attacked, poisoned every time). I’d posted about it at the time, and someone said they got it worked when they switched back into the attune that triggered it a second time, but that pretty much makes it useless.

As an aside, it seems like all “on swap” weapons have an ICD about equal to what it takes other classes to swap weapons, so swapping through all 4 attunements in 4 seconds will only get one proc of a “might on weapon swap” sigil. If you wait about 7~ seconds between swapping, though, you’ll get it every time.

Thanks for the feedback. I think it’s bugged as all the other wpn swap sigils work, and like Rainsfords said, this one requires a double swap to activate.

I’ll just go back to the aoe bleed on swap, which is s shame because I really wanted all 3 conditions.

Lastly thanks again, because I wasn’t aware “on kill” shared an ICD with “on swap.”

Cheers.

You might want to try a Sigil of Battle (I think it’s the one that gives 3 might stacks on swap). You can consistently have 6 might stacks up just from casual swapping and occasionally have 9. Might give you more overall condi damage then an extra stack of bleed.
