Guild Wars 2

For months now, I’ve noticed that often the Superior Sigil of Perception does not generate stacks after kills. It seems this occurs about 2/3rds of the time. I use the sigil on numerous different weapons, including underwater weapons, so it’s not a matter of swapping weapons and losing the stacks. I’ve also tried using the weapons in both main-hand and off-hand positions when the issue has occurred, and again this does not affect the result. I have even checked my Precision stat both before and after kills when the issue has occurred, and it’s not a matter of the stacks being generated but not appearing above my utilities. The stacks simply are not being generated at all.

I’ve never had any issue with either the Superior Sigil of Bloodlust or the Superior Sigil of Corruption, so it seems this is only an issue with the Superior Sigil of Perception.

I should add that this issue is occurring in both open world PvE and in WvW, so it’s not a matter of killing npcs that yield no exp in instances.

Sounds like you have the sigil on too many weapons.

The issue also exist for Bloodlust and probably other weapons as well.

Easy steps to reproduce.
1) equip bloodlust weapons on both the main hand and off hand, no bloodlust on the other set
2) kill something to get a stack
3) replace either main hand or offhand out either weapon
4) killing will no longer give stacks
5) replace the weapon so you are back to the setup in 1) and it will give stacks again

Another scenario with the problem
1) equip at least one bloodlust weapon in each set of weapons
2) killing with either set will not give any stack
3) unequip and re-equip one of the bloodlust weapon, now killing with either set will work(WTF?!)

There are probably other scenarios but basically the easiest way to avoid the problem is never having more than 1 stacking sigil equipped across both weapon sets.

Noticed this as well when i pick the wrong axe on my war ending up with
Axe Bloodlust + Mace Bloodlust and GS Bloodlust(second slot) on the second set.

Turns out i couldn’t get any stack with the GS anymore, i tried swapping weapons around without noticing any improvement.

In my case, this isn’t that much of a big deal since there’s signet misuse in the first place but your reports are a bit more problematic i guess.

Everything works fine with one Bloodlust on each set though.

Hope someone will be able to look into it. Sounds like the cap on sigil triggering is not designed the way it should.
