Guild Wars 2

Something just crossed my mind when killing random stuff. Do weapon procs have a shared internal CD?

Example: Weapon in MH has sigil effect proc, CD starts. Does this CD also affect the proc effect of the OH?

The reason I ask is because depending on the answer, in theory, a single strike can possibly proc both sigil effects at the same time. Fire Aoe sigils with chill effects, Chill effect sigils with bleed effects, etc etc.

Weapons in the MH will also proc the OH sigils effect regardless which weapon was used to attack also, tested this myself.

So I ask the question, does the weapon proccing on critical hit share a same internal CD with each other, or can both be activated regardless and have absolutely no connection to each other?

Any Sigil that procs on crit, or happens on weapon swap will share a cooldown with other similar ones.

For example, Sigil of superior energy and Superior fire on a sword/shield; proccing the Fire attack will nullify the Energy swap for 5 seconds, and vice versa.

Hope this helped.

I believe this is done to not give duel wielding an inherent advantage over 2h weapons.

This does answer my question, thanks. So technically it would not be beneficial to have 2 proccing on crit effects.

No I don’t believe it would

So in your opinion. Would having Sigil of blood and earth on respective swords be useless?
