Hi guys, I have been browsing the mesmer forums alot and realized that most people use sigil of force (+5% dmg) on their main hand weapons and other sigils such as sigil of fire on their OH weaps. Would like to know if the 5% dmg on the sigil scales only with the weapon that its equipped on (the MH weapon in this case), and hence making it crucial that you use this sigil on the MH weap which has more weap dmg, or does it scale with your overall damage, and would not matter which weapon (MH or OH) you use it on.
My MH weapon is currently equipped with sigil of fire and was thinking of equipping my pistol with sigil of force, and hence I would like to clarify this issue. Thanks!

Both sigils (main and off hand) affect weapon skills from each other.

For MH/OH pairs, put the most costly sigil on the weapon you don’t swap out much; eg. for sword/xxx users, put the 3g sigil on the sword and the 1g sigils on pistol & focus.

For Sigils that proc, mainhand procs before offhand.

The reason I like Sigil of Force (5% dmg) on mainhand sword is because I am planning to get two swords and put the Ghastly Sword skins (the ones from AC that glow only at night) on both of them.

Then I will put 5% Dmg sigil on one sword and 10% Dmg at Night sigil on the other. That way when my sword is glowing, I will make sure I am using the 10% dmg at night sigil and when the glow stops, swap to the sword that has the straight 5% dmg sigil.

I figure swords are easier to see glowing than the pistol in my opinion.
