Guild Wars 2

For D/D ele 0/10/0/30/30, PVT wvw gear:

I currently use bloodlust, and battle. Then I swap out bloodlust for force. Would generosity be the better choice over force now? I have a 34% crit chance during swaps, and auras. The thing is we remove conditions really easily when swapping in and out of water. Still, vs a cripple reflected and removed on self, that’d be gold.

No because generosity shares cooldown with battle.

blah. That’s not nice.

Wait…. what? Really? I don’t use those in tandem, but that doesn’t seem right to me.

Is that intended? Or is it a glitch?

ALL chance on critical hit sigils share an internal cooldown with ALL weapon swap sigils. If you have two of either of these sigil types equipped:

• only one of them can proc at a time.
• while either one of them is on its internal cooldown, neither of them can proc again.

Easiest way to test this is with Sigil of Rage, which has an internal cooldown of 45 seconds. Try equipping it with any other sigil that has a chance on crit or weapon swap effect. Whack a dummy until Sigil of Rage procs. Neither sigil will proc for 45 seconds afterwards.

Choose your sigils accordingly!

Good to know. I did not previously know this. I’ll definitely take another look at my weapons combos, just in case.
