Guild Wars 2

i’m very happy so see the new weapon swap sigil, i plan on breaking it as soon as possible on my warrior

that said i would love to seen some more creative on weapon swap sigils. if anyone has any ideas please post them below.

- does a small amount of damage and is a blast finisher
- aoe blind
- 5 seconds of fury and swiftness on weapon swap (potential perma fury for rangers)
- 5 seconds of regen on weapon swap
- next attack is unblockable
- clear 2 conditions
- block attacks for 1 second

- fire/frost/static aura
- small light field
- swapping becomes a stunbreak (would probably need a 30 second cooldown)
- aoe immobilize
- next 3 attacks cause bleed (maybe no cooldown on this one)

- lowers cooldown on your next weapon swap by 3 seconds
- lowers cooldown on your weapon skills by 5 seconds
- increases healing power by 300 points for a few seconds
- drop a bomb (similar to the engineers 1 attack with the bomb kit, maybe no cooldown on this as well)

No need of

• “damage and blast finisher”; there already is a “damage and chill”. Don’t recklessly implement blast finishers
• “fury and swiftness”; I’d be fine with swiftness, but noone’d use it. Fury is a “rare” boon, don’t apply it to random things.
• “regen”; there’s already “heal”
• “cleansening”; no. Every class has their cleaning abilities
• “block”; same as above
• “light field”; sounds like you fear conditions. I’d agree with Dark, Etheral, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison and Water. But Light (cleansening) and Smoke (blind) would be too strong
• “AoE immobilize”; no … too much for a weaponswap
• “bleed”; there’s already “aoe bleed”

I’d agree with

• AoE blind, 9s CD
• next attack is unblockable, 9s CD
• random aura, 15s CD

i don’t know if you can really call fury a rare boon, every class except guardian and mesmer has easy access to it.

also while we do have an aoe bleed on weapon swap, that doesn’t really do you much good if you swap to a ranged weapon. the bleed on hit effect would be a lot less powerful then the sigil of geomancy but a lot more useful for ranged condition builds.

thought of another one, sigil of kleptomancy – steal a boon from a target near you.

aoe blind seems a bit too powerfull.

there are actually a lot of aoe blinds in this game, there are also large fields that not only aoe blind, but keep you blind for the duration of your stay in them. there are also spamable fields that do aoe blind.

somehow though it hasn’t proven to be that big of a problem.
