Guild Wars 2

Pretty much topic.
Don’t know if its by design or by bug.

Leeching + Doom on both weapon sets, doom is not triggering ever.
Also tested with other sigils and the same, offhand sigil does not trigger.

I don’t know if this answer’s your question or not but I’ve heard that proc sigils IE chance to steal life on crit will only count abilities that use that item. so one of those on your offhand can only proc off your 4 and 5 abilities that use the offhand. so.. something like a shield for most classes have little to no actual attacks so you’ll never get a proc.

the rule of thumb is that its better to put on swap sigils on your offhands and save the proc sigils for mainhand weapons.

EDIT: for typos lol

Upon further investigation, it seems only my necromancer is effected by this.
It might also something to do with the leech sigil.
I equipped doom on ranger offhand and it works as intended with earth sigil on main hand.

First af all, you should know that sigils with similar mechanics override each other (the one on MH mostly), for example, 2 different sigils with “26 stack” mechanics do not work simultaneously (again only MH sigil works).

Imo it shouldn’t be that way. Could be another oversight. The only solution is to combine different mechanics (on swap, 26 stacks, on crit, on hit) or split between 2 sets.

Cheers that clears it up.

Question on this:

If I have increased crit chance 5% sigil in each of my weapons, does this give me +10% chance to crit overall, or 5% chance to crit on each of those weapon’s attacks?

Asking because on my character page, my % to crit did not increase when I slotted these.
