Guild Wars 2

I read this from a post on internet, this guy trying a turret build for pvp (I know many ppl will start like meh, that sucks but this is not the question) and I read that he mentioned the following:
" I use Sigil of Superior Ice on my weapon for the “chilled” effect, which can proc off turret damage as well"
Is this real? I mean, did anyone try this or made any tests? is there any sigil that can proc off dmg or some condition? (please don’t say burning cuz we all know misil, FT both has burning) (I already know about dmg from armor runes condition, etc… Im asking about sigils to produce something else or any other type of dmg)

Thanks

The website where this guy mentioned that build is: http://www.gw2build.com/builds/gw2-engineer-turret-build-best-pvp-tournament-5357.html

I don’t think anything can proc off of turret damage (considering that turrets are considered sufficiently separate from the player that they don’t show up in the combat screen, don’t gain any bonuses from player gear stats, etcetera), but I might be wrong.

The only thing turrets proc is combat mode and kill tagging if you are close enough to them. Everything else is separated, even though the tooltips are altered by stats, they aren’t. Unless they changed it of course.

I tried that some time ago in the miss. Statwise nothing has an effect on turrets. Nothing. Afaik turrets cant crit or atleast I have never seen one crit. Could be wrong on that one.

Rifle turret even applies its own bleeds with auto fire. So if you want to run rifle turret you will load up the mob with kittenty bleeds with extremly low condition damage. Which will overwrite a necromancers bleeds at 25 stacks, making him track you and set your pc on fire.

There is something that has an effect on turret stats – Traits.

Unfortunately, traits are the only things that improve turrets.

Well just in case, conditions effect directly on all turrets that has condition formula on it, easy to check.
Burns: Missil T, Flame T
Bleed: Rifle T
I was wondering about the sigils though because I read on wiki that turrets CAN crit, but the problem is I think wether wiki is wrong, or there was a nerf some time ago, or GW2 is planing to add that thing. Also there are some ppl in youtube saying power can effect turrets (which I know it cant) and this guy from this build saying that sigil of ice can proc off turrets:

Anyways, that was my Q, today I bought a sigil of ice and I tried vs some mobs out from LOS and I didnt see any chilling, not sure if this is diff on pvp, but still. Thx for your comments everyone.

I don’t think sigils can proc off of turret crits (which I’m not sure are possible – I’m generally more focused on making things die than my turret’s damage), but I do know that power gained from Explosives traits will improve turret damage.
