Guild Wars 2

Is there a bug? The two sigils are identical.

Its funny because they are named different things.

I think Sigil of Bursting is supposed to be +6% crit damage, not condition duration.

Why not just use 5% Damage? Base damage is more then crit damage.

aka Sigil of Force

So no one knows what’s up with this?

It would be more ideal if you were running a 100% crit chance build, slightly increasing your damage. Other than that, there is no point. It is called bursting for a reason though.

Even then it wouldn’t deal more damage. Assuming you had 100% crtch …

The general crit mechanics is like this:

• baseDmg * (1.5 + crtdmg)

Now with sigil of bursting

• baseDmg * (1.56 + crtdmg)

Now with sigil of force

• baseDmg * 1.05 * (1.5 + crtdmg)
• = baseDmg * (1.575 + crtdmg * 1.05)

The only reason I can see is, for mesmers. Their phantasms don’t inherit “+ x% damage”. Cheap …

Sigil of Force does not stack if you equip two at once.

The question is would Force/Burst be > Force/Air. Pretty sure air would beat it but 6% on a 50%+ crit chance build might be nice.

Will Burst(or Force) be better than stacks of might?

I typically get 10-15 stacks but get 25 on champs/bosses. I feel like might is dishing out more damage than the others.

Assume a 100% crit build.

I would love to see a confirmation whether Sigil of Bursting is indeed bugged. The name doesn’t add up, it’s probably meant to be +critdamage. Only I’d love to know before I put them into my condition weapons. :S

I am pretty sure you could use both of them and still get both effects.

Must be a bug. They’ll probably fix it when Queen’s Speech releases, so they don’t have to do another hotfix.

^^^^
I would heavily assume this, I highly doubt there would be 2 identical sigils, it makes zero sense what so ever.

sigil of bursting is +6% DAMAGE and sigil of malice is +6% DURATION

Tman.6349:

sigil of bursting is +6% DAMAGE and sigil of malice is +6% DURATION

wow … after a month you finally solved this? just like three weeks after they fixed the tooltip. Noone ever noticed …

and well, it’s not + 6% damage, but + 6% malice.
