Question on Sigils
Sigils and weapon stats don’t work when using kits.

Do they stack properly if you put a sigil on each pistol? Say, bloodlust on main and condition damage on offhand? I only see the one counter.
While I was testing out some sigils, I noticed ones like “Sigil of Bloodlust” only gave kill counters while I was using rifle instead of grenades. Am I just using the wrong type of sigils or do I need to rack up 25 kills first with my rifle and then switch to the grenade kit?
Yep, that’s how it works.
No stats or sigils have any effect whatsoever from main weapon when you have a kit on.
You have to switch to the rifle for the killing shot (or at least for the moment the mob dies to something) to get any of the sigil based stacks. At least they don’t get wiped when you go back to the kit.
I rock thoughness/vit rifles with bloodlust exactly for that reason, because that way at least it has some use when it’s out (I will be controlling/surviving/kiting if my rifle is out instead of FT or nades), and build a few stacks on the easiest mobs I can find before going onto the main farming targets I set out for.
Now if I was using a sigil that stacks Magic Find on a rifle, does that Magic Find only count on the killing blow with the rifle? Or can I pull the mob with the rifle and then kill with grenades?
Other way around. Anything that builds stacks on kills requires you have the weapon equipped when the mob dies.
Sigil of Luck, as I have it, is the same of all the other on-kill sigils.
I don’t remember if you need to land the actual killing shot with the weapon, or just as long as it’s your damage, or if it’s enough that you had tagged the mob, tempted to say the second, but don’t quote me on it, but I know from personal testing that you won’t get the stack unless the weapon is equipped on death.
You do preserve the bonus while kitting up though, at least.
