Q:

if precise strikes is traited (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precise_Strikes) do critical hits with the longbow have a chance of inflicting two stacks of bleeding? or do the two arrows only count as one (i seem to recall that they bother crit -or dont crit- at the same time)?

A:

Both hits count, as long as they both crit and win the chance roll. Many %-on-crit effects are throttled by internal cooldowns (like Sigil of Earth) but others like Precise Strikes and Omnomberry Pies have no internal cooldowns and can proc more than once from a multi-hit ability. You can also proc multiple combo finishers.

Yes, there isn’t a cooldown on the trait. You can apply bleeds from AoE crits as well.

Consider Sigil of Earth to increase your chances, but it has a 2 seconds cooldown and will only apply once.

thanks for the reply… but (to totally clarify) do the two hits (two arrows from each auto attack) both have a chance to activate? or are the two trated as only one attack – HB activates sigil of fire/flame multiple times… but each hit does different damage; as far as i can tell… both arrows do exactly the same damage)?
