Guild Wars 2

Having some problems with my sigils and I think it is some core mechanic of them that I a missing.
I originally tried:
WS1 MH : Bloodlust
WS1OH : Battle
WS2 MH : Force
WS2 OH : Battle

That stopped proc’ing battle.
So I went back to using staff in the one hand with bloodlust/battle in the other…battle started proc’ing on switch.

Now I have gone to:
WS1 MH : Bloodlust
WS1 OH : Battle
WS2 MH : Force
WS2 OH : Force

No procs on battle during the swap.

Am I missing something inherent about the sigils?

Are you in combat? Weapon-swap sigils on proc when you’re actually in combat. Try it with, like, Doom or Intelligence against some dummies, so you can see the little activation icon pop up in your status.

Don’t double-up on Force like that, the second one will do nothing.

This should work for battle, on the second one, althought irrelevant, 2 Force Sigils wont stack.

Im not sure why it is not working but my guess is, you should test while in combat!

I was actually testing out on the golems in mists.
On the indestructible ones.
I will test my first scenario again (the top one with battle on both weapon set offhands), but I Was definitely in combat, and I was definitely not seeing that proc come up when I swapped.

Just to confirm (not trying to be condescending, just want to avoid a lot of headache):

Testing in Heart of the Mists, you are setting these in your PvP build, not your normal equipment screen, right?

Good question: Did not know there were separate equipment screens for that.
However: I think whichever way I did it, was the proper way, since I Can get battle to proc when using Staff/Sword+focus. But it will not proc when using Sword+focus/Sword+pistol (with battle in both pistol and focus)

So that was it ASP! I just tried it again. Works fine outside on some deer with the swapping. Come back into the golems in mist and it does not work.
Open up my pvp build screen (which I just now realize exists) and see some other runes on my gear that I did not put on there (maybe they came with the weapons?).

So then I guess the question is…how is my staff/sword+focus combo procing battle when I Swap, but not my sword+focus/sword+pistol?
