Q:

Hey guys and girls! I have question. If you place a sigil that relies on critical hits, for example, a major sigil of fire (10% on crit hit to trigger a fireball) can clones apply the affect. For example, could a critical hit from a staff clone have a chance to trigger the explosion the same as my regular attacks?
Thanks in advance!

tried that with superior sigil of earth and illusions (both types and without sharper images ofc) and no bleeds were applied.

Illusions only benefit from Sigils that affect your stats, for example Sigils that give Might; which increases your Power and Malice.

Clones and Phantasms don’t trigger the “On Crit” effects from sigils, Condition Duration sigils, and unsure if they receive the permanent bonus from Accuracy or Force sigils. All the “On Kill” sigils still activate/increment as expected, though.

This is because damage from a Clone/Phantasm do not reference you specifically, and do not show up in the Combat Logs. Thus a Crit from a Clone/Phantasm, is not a Crit from you which the Sigil references. As is Conditions/Boons from a Clone/Phantasm is not a Condition from you, thus no benefit from extended durations for either.

On the other hand, the “On Crit” sigils do work well with Mind Wrack and Cry of Frustration. These two damaging Shatters do reference you for damage, thus triggering the effects.

Haven’t noticed any difference on Clone Bleed durations with Superior Runes of the Centaur and the +Bleed Duration on Sigils here.

Conditions inflicted by Illusions cannot be affected by any form of +condition duration, including Master of Misdirection and Expertise.

Basically all sigils (which don’t affect your base stats) don’t work with Illusions.
“On kill” isn’t different. Illusion kills still count as your kill. You get loot and exp, even if only your illusions attack. So you also get your own sigil effect, not illusion’s sigil.
