Hi , as title says can any1 tell me if these two build might stacks independently, i mean if one procs and provides a might stack, can the other one do the same without getting a cooldown trigered since the efect on both is the same?

Sigils have internal cooldowns. Traits don’t.

I can verify this from having procced 3 bleeds with Sever Artery due to Superior Sigil of Earth and Precise Strikes.

They sure do. I use this combo to hoard might on my Greatsword rotation. I am however not sure if it stacks duration once the 25 stacks is achieved :/

Not sure but I think they overwrite.

i think once 25 stack is achieved, it just stop producing might until a stack slot is open..

When 25 stacks of any boon or condition happens, the condition or boon does not take place (capped). This means that if you have multiple people hitting a target with bleed and the cap of 25 is reached, the next attack of bleed will not be applied. This applies the same with Might stacks and the like. There is no overwriting (currently) or at least I have never seen it through testing.

To answer Sigil of Strength question, it has an internal cooldown of 2s AND only applies 30% ON a critical hit. Forceful Greatsword has no internal cooldown AND always applies 100% ON a critical hit.

EDIT: In game terms, this means that as your critical chance % increases and number of targets struck increases, the value of Sigil of Strength becomes dramatically less as it is very possible to hit the 25 might cap with just one Forceful Greatsword 100b hitting 3 targets + FGJ! and/or using SoR. Because of this, Greatsword baseline damage is rather poor.

That’s good info I will remember the reference in the future. That does make more sense but its kind if senseless also. Not on your part but by design. That type of hard capping could mean that an ele or anyone dropping a fire field plus blast could have their usefulness knocked out by a trait.

Both apply might independant of each other. One thing to note is while the sigil is only 30% of the time the durration is 10 seconds rather then 5.
