Guild Wars 2

Hey, i recently started playing my elementalist in pvp, and i tried to put superior sigil of battle and superior sigil of energy on my daggers, and they dont proc when i change attunement, i tried re-equiping the weapons, destroyed them and make new ones, it dosent work, i tried going like that to a match to see if in battle they proc and they didnt, so i started to think that they dont proc because im not “Swaping weapons” only changing attunements is that correct or the runes are bugged or something?

My second question is about elementalist and boons, i saw some elementalist that had a lot of boons all the time and they last for too long, i cant manage to do that with my 0/0/10/30/30 so anyone knows how to achieve that high boon durations? build and equipment, i want to try that.

Hope anyone can help me with those questions plz.

Question 1: Your problem is that your sigils are triggered the same way. Swapping attunements and swapping weapons are indeed the same thing, the problem is you are using two sigils that occur using the same method, switching weapons, and that triggers the sigil cooldown on both of them, though I thought one of them would activate so you possibly found a bug, as well. Someone else will have to answer that bit.

Question 2: The other elementalists are most likely using 2 Monk Runes and 2 Water Runes to gain additional boon duration.

1- I removed the energy one and now the battle sigil its working, i put in the other 5% crit chance instead, i dont know if its a bug but putting the battle sigil and the energy sigil makes both to dont apply their effects.

2- I put on my gear 2 monk runes, 2 water and i still cant mantain the boons a lot of time, i saw some eles that can have the boons up really a lot of time, their boons its always full i cant manage to sustain all the boons because they dont last enought.

Which boons do you see up so often? I’m going to assume Fury, Swiftness, Regen, Vigor, and Might because 0/10/0/30/30 with dagger/dagger and cantrips can keep these 5 boons up often.

All sigils of the same type do not stack.

So all swap sigils, stacking sigils, flat bonus sigils and %proc sigils don’t work with eachother.

So take one from each group.

That’s not…exactly true.

There are two kinds of sigils – ones that have an internal cooldown, and those that don’t.

Sigils that have internal CD
-Effects that proc on crit (e.g. Might on crit)
-Effects that proc on weapon swap (e.g. Chill foes on weapon swap)

Sigils that don’t have an internal CD
-Flat bonuses (e.g. +5% crit chance)
-Gain stats on kill (e.g. +10 power on kill)

And here’s how it works: if one of your sigils is on cooldown, then any sigil that also has a cooldown cannot activate.

So you are safe to take any combination of sigils, unkitten th of them are in the first group.

Edit: If both your sigils are in the first group it won’t work. And now you’ve learnt a new rude word.

Two 5% sigils don’t stack, two stats on kill don’t stack. Anything from the same class of sigil doesn’t stack with others from the same class, but you did explain why better than I.

Okay, and that.

So pick two from the list, make sure they aren’t from the same group, and that both aren’t in the ‘has internal CD’ category.

You need to trait for ‘Elemental Attunement’, Fury+Swiftness on Auras, and Fury on attunement swap (which is a minor trait anyway). Vigor on crit is good too.

Two stat on kill sigils won’t stack, if they are of different types. However, using 2 of the same type will give 2 stacks for each kill. I use this method to fill up quickly on stacks then switch to a weapon set with other sigils.
