Guild Wars 2

So i’ve been leveling my engi (I main an elementalist) and the other night i noticed something very strange. Whenever i swapped to a weapon kit (elixir gun and flamethrower specifically) right after shooting a target with my pistols, the elementalist mainhand dagger skill “Ring of Earth” would activate around me (a bunch of jagged rocks come out of the ground in a circle).

From what i could tell, it had no effect and caused no damage, but I could see the ring pop up around me with its familiar booming sound effect.

this isn’t really an issue, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. for all i know if could be some passive ability i don’t know about.

You probably equipped a weapon with a sigil of geomancy in it. It’s effect is that it causes this ring on weapon swap during combat, so every kit swap during a fight will make this ring pop up (with a 10 second cooldown or whatever).

Just examine your weapons to see what they’re using.

yep that’s totally it.

had no idea. thanks!
