Guild Wars 2

so i had a build i was working on for my thief involving energy runes on two sets of weapons, ( not giving it away ;] ) and i had done a test of it in Spvp a few days ago and it was fine now i have the money i need to make it so i went in one last time to make sure it was right and i am not getting any endurance back when i weapon swap and it is very upsetting because i have worked on this for a little under a week now, and its now buggy, i don’t know if its because of the maintenance last night or what, but can you possibly take a look at it?

**I had also asked my friends who run guardians and warriors if they were having the same issue, and they said “yea my sigils aren’t working either” so its not just me having this issue..

Thanks in advance,

A couple questions for you:

• Which version of the Sigil of Energy are you using that is not returning any endurance on swap, Major or Superior?
• Is it the same version of the sigil on both of your weapon sets?

Just to make sure your aware of this, but as with a vast majority of the sigils, they only work in combat. So, if your running around Lions Arch, spamming dodges to burn your endurance, just so you can weapon swap, and see endurance refill, you need to be aware that they do not work out of combat.

I run one of these sigils in one of my weapons, but I have had no issues with it at all today myself.

i am using the superior version, and i am aware of that, i used it a few days ago with a sword main hand and it was fine i used it with my pistols now, and it doesnt work ive been testing it in spvp and now i don’t understand why its not working..

On your pistols, do you have the sigil on the main hand pistol or the off-hand pistol? If you have it on your off-hand pistol try switching the pistols so the one with the sigil is in the main hand slot and try again.

It shouldn’t matter even on the off hand. It works fine for me, I carry Energy Sigils for all my chars’ weapon sets.

MH/ OH does matter when you got a weaponswap on both of them. Basically all sigil trigger “prefer” the MH.

That’s why every second poster here asks the TS for the other sigils in the other weapons. The sigil is unlikely to be bugged, but misused here.

Make sure you don’t have a sigil on both your MH and Offhand weapon, because if you do, it won’t work for some reason.

I had a sigil on both my shield and sword on my guardian, and when I’d swap to Sword/focus, I’d get endurance recharge, but when I swapped back to sword/shield, I wouldn’t.

Was kind of frustrating when trying to duo lupi and I didn’t get the energy procs, which resulted in me dying, until I figured out the problem.

There is a 9 second cooldown on the Sigil of Energy. ‘On-swap’ effects and all on-swap sigils share this cooldown. You can run dual on-swap sigils, but your second sigil won’t proc if 9 seconds have not elapsed between swaps.

u cant have 1 wepon Zerker and 1 wepon valk they must both be same otherwise the sigil doesnt work Fixed <3 btw i made this build first :P

OP try this:

• Unequip all weapon sets (not just change them out, but set it up so your character has no weapons).
• Ensure that the only “on swap” sigils you are using are the Superior Energies.
• Ensure that you have both equipped in the same hand, e.g. both main- or both off-hand. If using two-handed weapons, make sure the sigils are equipped in the same spot (first or second). For testing purposes, don’t mix/match 1-handed with 2-handed sets.
• Repeat your tests and post here.

If it works, great, you’ve solved the issue. If it doesn’t, you’ve provided controlled test results that ANet can use to troubleshoot.

(You can save money by experimenting with the major or minor sigils.)

Note to any ANet ppls reading: regardless of whether there’s a bug here, figuring out which sigils are going to trigger shouldn’t require an advanced degree in Computer Science or knowledge of decision trees. Please change things so it’s easier for the casual player to know what will happen if they combine 2, 3, or 4 sigils in any of a variety of ways.

If you have two of the same sigils (one on each set) make sure they are both on either off-hand or both on the main-hand weapons.

I had the same problem with the sigil of battle coupled with an ‘on crit’ sigil. I had the sigil of battle on the main-hand of one set and off-hand on the other set and they cancelled each other out. Thanks to a helpful forum community I was informed of this known bug.

So again (and this applies to all sigils as far as I know) if you have two of the same sigils make sure they are on the same hand for each set.
