Hey there guys. I noticed a lot of posts in which people were unsure about which potions and such to use in different dungeons and also as to what different bosses were classed as.

Sigils.

Dungeons.

1) AC : Sigil of Night/Force. (Can use Sigils of Ghost Slaying but only works for ghost mobs not gravelings)

2) CM : Sigil of Justice/Force

3) TA : Sigil of Night/Dreams

4) SE : P1 – Sigil of Night/Mad Scientist
P2 – Sigil of Night/Sorrow
P3 – Sigil of Night/Sorrow

5) CoF : Sigil of Night/Smothering

6) HoTW : P1 – Sigil of Wrath/Force (Only for Legendary bosses) Sigil of Icebrood/Force (For Troll)
P2 – Sigil of Icebrood/Force (Can use Wrath for Andal)
P3 – Sigil of Icebrood/Force (For Goliath) Sigil of Wrath/Force (For Legendary bosses)

7) CoE – Sigil of Night/Force (Story Mode does not count as Night – Use Mad Scientist/Force instead)
– Sigil of Undead/Night can be used for Alpha’s
– Sigil of Wrath/Night can be used for Bjarl The Rampager (P1)
– Sigil of Mad Scientist/Night can be used for the Golems (P1-2-3)
– Sigil of Dreams/Night can be used for Evolved Husk (P2)
– Sigil of Destroyer/Night can be used for Evolved Destroyer (P3)

8) Arah – Sigil of Undead Slaying/Force

Fractals.

Underwater : Sigil Of Serpent Slaying/Force(Only for pre-boss mobs)
Harpies : Sigil Of Mad Scientist/Force (Only for golems – Can use Frailty instead of Mad Scientist for rest)

Level 2:
Snowblind : Sigil Of Night/Wrath (For Legendary boss) Sigil Of Night/Elemental (For Elemental event)
Molten Facility : Sigil Of Force/Frailty (Can use Sigil of Sorrow for end boss)
Cliffside : Sigil Of Justice/Force
Harpies : Sigil Of Mad Scientist/Force. (Only for golems – Can use Frailty instead of Mad Scientist for rest)
Urban : Sigil Of Force/Frailty

Level 3:
Dredge : Sigil Of Night/Sorrow (Swap Sorrow for Elemental depending on last boss)
Grawl : Sigil Of Night/Grawl (Can use Demon Slaying for final boss)
Cliffside : Sigil Of Justice/Force
Aetherblade Retreat : Sigil Of Force/Frailty
Thumonova Reactor : Sigil Of Force/Frailty

Boss Fractals:
Jade Maw : Sigil Of Night/Force
Molten Facility : Sigil Of Force/Frailty
Aetherblade Retreat : Sigil Of Force/Frailty

Potions.

Dungeons.

2) CM : Outlaw Slaying.

3) TA : Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies.

4) SE : Story Mode – Dredge Slaying.
P1 – Inquest Slaying.
P2 – Dredge Slaying.
P3 – Dredge Slaying.

5) CoF: Flame Legion Slaying.

6) HoTW: Corresponds with Sigil use.

7) CoE: Undead Slaying. (Inquest Slaying for Story Mode)

8) Arah: Undead Slaying.

Fractals

Level 1:
Swamp : Master Maintenance Oils.
Underwater : Krait Slaying. (Only for pre-boss mobs)
Harpies : Inquest Slaying. (Only for golem bosses)
Urban : Master Maintenance Oils.

Level 2:
Snowblind : Svanir Slaying + Elemental Slaying.
Molten Facility : Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies.
Cliffside : Outlaw Slaying.
Harpies : Inquest Slaying. (Only for golems)
Urban : Master Maintenance Oils.

Level 3:
Dredge : Dredge Slaying/Elemental Slaying. (Boss-dependent)
Grawl : Grawl Slaying + Demon Slaying (Imbued Shaman counts as Demon)
Cliffside : Outlaw Slaying.
Aetherblade Retreat : Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies.
Thumonova Reactor : Master Maintenance Oils.

Boss Fractals:
Jade Maw : Master Maintenance Oils.
Molten Facility : Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies.
Aetherblade Retreat : Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies.

P.S Of course Skale Venom may be swapped out for any of the Fractal Instances were Master Maintenace Oils are used.

Food.

Personally I use Candied Dragon Rolls/Omnomberry Pies. But Plate of Steak and Asparagus works very well, and gives you that bonus power.

I hope this helps anyone who was lost. Any feedback is gladly welcomed.

Target.

P.S Please bump and up vote if you found this useful!

his potion findings are correct,tested them a while back using the most steady dmg spell i had,doing numerous tries and resets just to be sure.I don’t recommend using any potion in CoE,the amount of silver lost on potions while you swap them 3 or 4 times is not worth it.You have svanir at the beginning,then undead,then inquest,then undead again,then inquest again,then finally undead,and that’s just p1.

Does Sigil of Night works any time in dungeons?
Still cant understand the day/night things in GW2. In WoW as i remember there was a clock with server time, very handy since my local time was different. How can i see is it day or night in GW2?

The underground dungeons count as night iirc. Also you can buy a ghost weapon to check too, they will glow at night :p

Actually they fixed this just a couple of patches ago.

It actually is a Ghost Slaying potion now, however it is really exspensive compared to the other extended potions.

I’ll see if I can find the quote or patch note were they said they fixed it.

Edit:
Found it

From what I’ve tried/from what I’ve seen on the forums the Gravelings count as Ghost…So therefore Ghost Slaying Potions

That’s why you just use Undead… arguably the most fighting is for SA 3 times.

Exactly, realistically no one in their right mind would use so many potions. I’ve just put it there for peoples info. As Strife said, Undead Potion is all you need for CoE.

Why not sigil of seeking (inquest slaying) for SE p1? It should be better than sigil of the night.

How is sigil of seeking better than sigil of night when they both do 10% damage except night works on everything in nighttime dungeons…

Also, if you have a weapon set with two weapons and you’re in a dungeon like AC, running night/ghost slaying gives you a nice 20%+ damage.

It’s 21%, not 20%. Though, ghost slaying is pretty useless in AC since it doesn’t work on gravelings (or does it? that wouldn’t make sense).

I remember reading that it does work on gravelings. I suppose it would have been better for me to give the more obvious example of night/smothering for CoF.

Quickly checked the wiki: "Though Gravelings look like Shadow Skelk, they are considered Ghosts for purposes of kill variety, the Slayer achievement track, potions, etc. "

Well the gravelings count toward Ghost Slayer title…..So I assume it does work??

There is no day/night cycle in dungeons, some dungeons are always daytime and others are always nighttime. Open world has a 2-hour day/night cycle (mostly day).

I recommend using an AC weapon skin with sigil of the night, as these weapons glow blue when it is nighttime.

When i have two one-hand-weapons equipped, which means two sigils, can i then combine for example a sigil of the night with a sigil of undead slaying, or a sigil of force with a sigil of the night?

If you could still stack venom with pots and food then yes I’d use it….

But you can’t…

The vulnerabilities not worth it, cos the mobs gonnna have 25 stacks anyways. And is inflicting perma weakness worth losing 10% DPS?
