Guild Wars 2

As I was playing my Mesmer in arenas (both solo and team queue) I noticed my energy sigils weren’t working when I weapon switched.

I use Sword/Pistol and Greatsword or Staff/Greatsword as my weapons. I use Sigil of Energy and Strength

It’s very annoying and usually costs me near deaths. Sometimes the sigil worked, sometimes it just doesn’t.

u have warrior runes? if so u got 1 s faster recharge on swap, so energy sigil isnt rdy when u switch weapon

Assuming you didn’t have warrior runes, one possible explanation is the global sigil stacking bug. But it’s very unlikely unless playing with 2 main hands and 2 off hands.

If at any point you have two same Sigils equipped on a one weaponset, a stacking rule is applied. While rule is on, you need two same Sigils to get the effect. If you have only one Sigil then it has no effect. Rule is cleared when you have zero of that Sigil equipped.

This means that while equipping and unequipping, it is possible to mess up for example Sigil of Force and lose 5% damage.
