Hi, i finally got one exotic pistol (i only used d/d s/d before), and i don’t know what sigil to use. Far as i know, reading the forum, etc, the sigil only helps the skills related to the weapon, that means, 3rd skill, daze and AoE blind. So what is the best sigil for it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sigil of Accuracy, global +5% chance to critical! Slinks back to his DPS calculations.

False. Every skill is affected by the sigil.

It’s global, and I wouldn’t use anything less than 5% damage but that’s my preference. With sigil of fire on main.

That’s spvp tho, I often run 3might on swap with 25trait in shadow arts and might on dodge to maintain about 15-20 stacks of might in general pve or WvW.

Lots of choices, all about what play style you use.

Back to WoW, make GW2 fun please.

But how do you explain the the use of two Sigils of Force in dual wield, and only one in a two-handed weapon? I always thought it was true, cause it would be unfair for 2h weapons.

Go to the Heart of the Mists, equip two one handed weapons, put into the off hand weapon Sigil of Fire (be sure you have enough critical hit chance to cause the effect of the sigil) and attack one of the dummies only with your auto attack. You will see that your auto attack will cause a fire explosion even though the sigil is in the off hand weapon. The effect of sigils is global.

And yes, you are right about that – two handed weapons are lacking an upgrade slot compared to one handed weapon sets.

By the way, the effect of two Sigils of Force in the same weapon set does not stack. You can test it by yourself with steady weapons in Heart of the Mists.

Sigil of force (+5% damage) works only on one weapon. The rest of sigils seems to be fine, but haven’t checked all of them.

I am not sure why you are telling me that.
