Glyphs: While Wielding?

So with Glyphs like Executioner that say “while wielding” does that mean that particular weapon has to be used for the skill or simply equipped? Meaning, could I have a polearm equipped but all my skills use a hammer and I still gain the benefits?

Thank you =)

edit It seems I was wrong, and yes that particular weapon has to be used for the skill

You can test this out yourself. Unequip all your weapons. Then use the weapon specify. Check the damage numbers. Now equip a different weapon in the same slot to test out the numbers.

Exactly, it counts if you use the weapon and NOT just equip

I don’t know for sure because I haven’t tested, but I’d imagine you have to use the actual weapon, otherwise glyphs like this:

ambidextrous - * You deal x8% increased damage while Weilding One-Handed Weapons.

wouldn’t make much sense because you always have one-handed weapons and it would just read “you deal x8% increased damage”

Every glyph is wielding… so you have to use the skill and that specific weapon to gain the bonuses

Yes it’s related to the weapon you use with it.
