Guild Wars 2

It seems, in general, I can only get this sigil to trigger 1/2 of the time. As a necromancer, my recharge on my weapon swaps is 10 seconds, so applying two of these sigils to both of my sets should trigger this sigil every time i swap while in combat.

This morning, in the regular environment (not dungeon or fotm), i cannot get these to trigger at all while in combat. Been playing for a few hours and nothing so far.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Edit: Here are some screenshots showing my weapons, and some in-combat just-after-swapping shots:

Your problem is using sigil combinations that don’t have synergy like you’d think they would. ‘On crit’ AND ‘on swap’ sigils all share a global ICD. Your hydromancy sigils are not always proccing b/c your blood sigils are putting them on cool down. You’ll also notice that when the hydro does proc, you won’t leech any health for at least 10 secs. This is b/c the blood sigil goes on cool down when the hydro procs. These sigils have always behaved like this. I’m assuming to curb power creep/balancing issues. Try using the hydro sigil with an ‘always on’ or an ‘on kill’ sigil for maximum effect, such as sigil of hydromancy with sigil of chilling or using the sigil of blood with a sigil of accuracy. This is a very important rule to be aware of when creating a build. Many people, I’m sure, have wasted plenty of money totally unaware that sigils behave this way and, surely, many others still use combinations like this completely unaware that they are ineffective and their build is not at its maximum potential. Good luck with your future builds.

Thank you very much for your intricate response! I’ll try out some other sigils on the off-hands and report back.

Edit: Thanks, Tman, I believe they are now working as expected.
