Guild Wars 2

A question for the knowledgable, for those runes that proc when an elite skill is used, how do they interact with the mortar kit? Is it when orbital strike is used?

For theif runes, where it says extra damage if hitting from side or behind, how do AOE attacks like bombs play with them?

Finally will sigil of air and sigil of fire both potentially proc on the same hit?

Oh and finally, for runes that say they apply some effect to allies within a radius, this always includes oneself right? Perhaps aside from the ones that explicitly mention out going healing.

1. when swapping into or out of mortar kit (pushing the elite skill button, not weapon swap)

2. dunno, havent tried cuz runes cost money each time i wanna change them

3. yes

4. yes, itll say “other allies only” somewhere or other when it means not you

I’m pretty sure it’s the position of the bomb. So you if lay it and then run to the right and the enemy turns to face you thief will go off. It pretty much means it will always go off if you are kiting.
