I recently stumbled across the fact, that the dungeon weapons’ sigils have rather specific description regarding the group of mobs they let you do more damage against. Several questions arose, for example about the Sigil of Seeking (% more damage against Inquest), because technically there is not a single Inquest to be fought in CoE, only golems, Subject Alpha, Husks, an Icebrood boss and a destroyer boss etc. I looked up the achievement section “Slayer” to see what kinds of enemies are listed there. Let’s just sum up the most important questions.

1. Gravelings in AC count towards ghosts and are therefore affected by the AC sigil, is that correct?
2. Does that mean that the sigils in dungeon weapons are useful for every single enemy in the respective dungeon? E. g. is the Sigil of Seeking working against the destroyer boss in CoE and the golems as well?

And 3. disregarding the first two questions, what is the difference between Sigil of Wrath (% more damage against Sons of Svanir) in the HotW weapons and the Sigil of Icebrood Slaying (which you can craft)? Since there are only Icebrood in HotW, does that mean the Sigil of Wrath is completely useless in the dungeon? The “slayer” achievement section only lists Svanir’s Bane, not specifically Icebrood. So, why are there 2 different sigils for probably the same stuff?

Answers would be much appreciated.

1. I believe so
2. No. There are often multiple enemy types per dungeon. This is probably most noticeable in COE
3. Sons of Svanir and Icebrood are not the same. Sons of Svanir are the seers, hunters, claymores, maulers, ETC. The “Human” enemies. The icebrood include the elementals, quaggans, wolves, collossus, and possibly certain bosses such as the icebrood norn bosses (such as the 2 at the start of plunderer path) Which is why there are 2 different sigils.

Thank you for the insight. So I actually have to decide whether to use Wrath or Icebrood Slaying in HotW.

Question remains in CoE. There is not a single Asura to be fought, therefore my question, if the golems count towards Inquest or not?
