Guild Wars 2

With the new patch coming, I’m mulling over some build ideas. Any help with these questions is greatly appreciated.

Can a shatter crit proc an on-crit sigil?

Is shatter crit chance always your character attack crit chance (plus precise wrack if you have it traited)?

Can a shatter crit proc an on-crit food?

Thx much!

Any crit procs an on crit effect

Thx @Carpboy

This won’t apply to the actual attacks of the clones and phantasms though, right?

It’s only crits triggered by some sort of attack that I make, right?

Your crit chance and damage affects all skills and abilities. Which includes clones and phantasms.

Carpboy.7145:

Any crit procs an on crit effect

Phantasm/clone attack crits do not proc on-crit sigils. The only on-crit effect you can get from their attacks is the sharper images bleed.

So I’ve noticed this myself since i use these types of sigils.

Lemme break it down for you.

Clone / Phantasms Attacks = Crits that apply damage/conditions but cannot Activate Sigils. Effectively the damage does not generate directly from the player. This is also why retaliation will only damage the illusion and not the player when they attack.

Shattering = Crits that can cause sigils to activate. Shatter damage is directly linked to the player and is not generated by the illusion. shatters will not cause sharper images to activate. This is why Retaliation can cause you damage when you shatter.

Standard attacks = yet again, crits that can activate the sigils since they are damage generated directly by the player.

the same applies to food or other “on-crit” type items.

Shatter damage / crit % / Crit damage are all based off of your toons current stats (accounting for might/fury/etc..) and also adds any relevant traits.
