Guild Wars 2

Anyone else extremely interested in this? Going through the current list it’s hard to predict what they could add. I’m excited.

I’m praying PowerPrecisionHealing, but knowing ANET it will probably be something stupid again like VitalityConditionMagicfind.

Are you thinking stat combos? I’m talking about the runes and sigils they mentioned :p

They’re getting rid of Magic Find as a gear stat by the end of this year, so keep your chin up!

I seriously doubt they’d add more Magic Find gear when they’ve already announced its going to be removed.

Sure, its on Celestial, but that’s a catch-all stat combo for every single stat and that includes MF as well.

As for Runes / Sigils… I can totally see a rune that summons a Watchwork robot similar to the ones that summon hounds and the like. Especially since the recipes will be bought with watchwork parts and probably made with them.

Possibly a Sigil that boosts Torment duration. Maybe even one that inflicts Torment, since there are Sigils that inflict all the other damage conditions.

Good call Electro, I’d like to see more condition based upgrades

I’d like to see sigils that have a chance to add poison and burn on critical hits.

I’m referring to the new stat additions in general.

They actually thought it was a good idea and that we would use MagicFind/Healing/Boon% trinkets. Then they wondered why people were salvaging them for ectos instead of actually using them, and permabanned a couple of players.

After that we got some Settler’s gear or something like that, with stats PvErs don’t care about.

But who knows? ANET might surprise me this patch.

Are they actually adding new runes and sigil? I’m not sure where people get the idea/info they were adding it.

Watchwork Mechanisms

Watchwork tech is the latest and greatest innovation in Tyria. Watchwork parts can be used in new crafting recipes or as currency in the Crown Pavilion to buy items like new rune and sigil recipes, Watchknight Tonics, or the new Sovereign Weapon Set. You might even find the recipe to assemble a Watchwork Portal Device, allowing you to create a personal portal!

I’d like to see a sigil to add chill on crit hit (2s icd, 5s duration)

Excalibur.9748:

I’d like to see a sigil to add chill on crit hit (2s icd, 5s duration)

I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high, seeing as this type of sigil already exists in the game, and its duration/ICD don’t allow for permachill. Personally, I think that’s a good thing.

Where is fear duration sigil?

Actually I’ve been hit by this thing in spvp and I feel like it doesn’t have an internal cooldown even though it says so.
Nevermind, it does. So how in the world was this mesmer constantly applying chill on me whenever he pewpewed me with the greatsword.

If it was by a guardian, they have a trait which functions exactly the same way.

darkace.8925:

Agreed, but then again…. I think we have enough conditions flying around everywhere, so maybe not. Maybe a poison on crit sigil, could leave the burn one out.

I’m personally hoping for more Runes/Sigils with Boon Duration. Currently all we’ve got is the Giver’s Insignia and associated Wintersday gear.

Zaxares.5419:

There are plenty of Runes with Boon Duration. 3 different sets of them, I believe (though the 3rd is limited so that you can’t get +45% boon duration from runes alone).

If you’re talking about stat combinations for armor, that might be nice. As long as its less pathetic than Giver’s. 6% percent boon duration for an entire set of armor is NOT worth it.

I think you all are reading too much into this – new rune/sigil recipes don’t mean new runes/sigils. There are existing runes that are too rare because they can’t be made directly. I could be wrong, but it’s an alternate explanation.

Depends on how you read the wording.

To me, its saying there will be recipes for new runes / sigils. You’re seeing that there will simply be new recipes.

I don’t think either way is strictly “right”. Could go either way.

Its a lot more interesting to speculate about completely new runes / sigils than it is to speculate about Divinity runes becoming less of a pain, though.

You’re right. It could go either way. However, I wouldn’t be upset at being able to craft previously farmed-only Runes and Sigils too. Craft Superior Runes of Divinity with Charged Quartz? YES PLEASE!

I read that there were new Runes & Sigils in this update.
If you loot the recipe/know the runes or sigil effet, post here !

Very interested in this too.

For some odd reason the minor sigil/rune recipes cost more than the major recipes. I suppose this is a bug?

Ok I’m seeing recipes for the following:

Runes of Tormenting
Runes of Perplexity
Runes of Exhuberance

and

Sigil of Renewal
Sigil of Malice
Sigil of Bursting

Am really keen to know the stats on these.

Yrdur.1752:

They do?

Jayne.9251:

Atleast the Rata sum/Grove & Ebonhawke Emmisaries do

Ahhh yes, I see what you mean now …

Any idea what they do? I assume someone has obtained at least minor ones by now…

From another thread:

From buying the minor/major version:
Runes of Tormenting (1) CD damage (2) Torment Duration (3) CD damage (4) Chance to cause Torment on hit – vice versa for Perplexity. Not sure about Exhuberance yet.
Renewal is heal allies on weapon swap (180 radius), Malice and Bursting are both Condition Duration (4% on minor, likely 10% on superior).

Minor Sigil of Malice – 4% Condition Duration

Major Runes of Perplexity: (1) Condition Damage (2) Confusion Duration (3) Condition Damage (4) Chance to cause Confusion on hit.

Sigil of Malice: Condition duration (5% for Major).

Not sure on the Superior bonuses yet.

Also, heal on weapon swap sigil? My Elementalist will love that.

Would be nice if they fix the current ones that are bugged.

I’m about to buy the tailor ones, save your money ’til you know Will post in a few minutes.

Sounds OP. ;s

It’s a little expensive, but someone should buy sprockets on the TP and get the other recipes – if we all work together we can figure it out quickly. I could also do artificer but lunch is calling. If no one has done it by then, I guess I’ll shell out the money. Grumble.

Other interested parties – please help out? Then post the tradeskill, rune effects, and materials like I just did?

Pro-tip: Sigil recipes are cheaper, yes?

Why is that a “Pro-tip”? Sigils and Runes serve different purposes. It’s not as though by buying a Sigil you will get the same benefits as the Rune Set.

jesus christ seems like im to bad for the [img] tag or this texile !

it wont show pics so i just left the urls

it seems that the sigil of renewal is bugged.
I tested it in WvW and it didn’t heal the nearby allies

In the context of me suggesting people buy the recipes to find out this info, I was saying it’d be cheap to buy those recipes and tell us what they do, not that sigils and runes were co-committal.

The two threads have been merged, namaste.

Azunai.1065:

must have an icd…
too op

the rune of perplexity is bugged. I crafted and put it on my mesmer the 4 piece bonus will give you the 3 stacks of confusion not the enemy.

That’s weird why would they put 2 sigils w/ the same effect? Maybe that’s a typo?

Where is fear duration sigil?

Since when is fear a damage condition?
