Guild Wars 2

So, I know the Sigils which apply some sort of bonus on weapon swap work on attunement swap. I was wondering – does a rune that shortens weapon swap duration shorten attunement swap duration as well?

No, there is a trait bonus for that purpose (Arcane).

^ That

As a heads up, while weapon swap sigils are triggered by switching attunements, they have a 9 second internal cooldown (this is to prevent shenanigans with eles being able to trigger the sigils 4 times every 9 seconds with 30 in Arcane, or with warriors with Discipline 15 being able to weapon swap every 5 seconds)

All of our most useful skills can’t be used again before the attunement recharge is finished anyways, so reducing it further isn’t really necessary (unless you want to abuse boons on attunement swapping…)

Thanks for the replies, guys.

It would be nice if it worked though. It might (emphasis on might) help players build without Arcana if they wanted to.

Sure, why not nerf an entire trait line, entire builds? Sorry, couldn’t help myself. The 9 second cooldown is a primary reason to take Arcana. The 9 second cooldown happens to equal the attunement cooldown from 15 to 9 seconds that 30 in the Arcana trait line gives. Attunement proc’ing sigils can be used in one of these builds to take advantage of this. In fact, the entire trait line is made up of traits that proc on attunement changes. Traits in other lines also proc on attunement changes and are most effective with a 30 in Arcane build.
