Guild Wars 2

noob question but for d/d how does the sigil of battle work when u technically dont swap weapons…or does switching attunements count as switching weapons???

Yes sigil of battle does work on attunement swap but there is a 9 second internal cooldown.

The fact that the system recognises attunement swap as the same as weapon swap means that a LOT of things will proc. when you change attunement, not just Sigils.

A very useful fact and worth thinking about

Remember though, you can’t use two on swap sigils as an ele and get both bonuses. You will only get one of the two every 9 seconds not both, it’s random on which you will get but I found that the one in your main hand will process more. Get a on crit or on kill for the other weapon.

mainhand rolls before offhand; although with on swaps it would mean mainhand activates; goes on cd and prevents offhand activating

- do NOT get an on crit with an onswap sigil

This guy has it right. Don’t use an on swap sigil along with an on crit sigil as it works the same as if you had 2 on swap sigils.
