Guild Wars 2

Sigil of smoldering (+20% burning duration) is bugged.

This sigil works in the mists (for instance on golems), but it’s not working anymore as you enter a pvp match.
You can check it by both looking tooltip numbers and the actual burning durations on targets.

Same goes for all the other condi duration sigils. A temporary workaround is to re-slot the sigil before the match starts, although this is not always possible (such as when joining a hot join mid-game).
It would be nice to get a red response acknowledging this issue, because it does greatly affect condi-related builds (loosing that 20% increase is kind of a big deal), especially for the players that are not aware of this issue and slot a sigil that does absolutely nothing.

I didn’t know the workaroud, thanks Toroquin.

I hope Anet can fix this anyway.

You can also bind a key to PvP build to access your sigils and thereby allowing you to re-slot them. I don’t know if you can do it in yolo and team queue though.
