And once you’ve learned what the sigil of water does, determine just how much 250 Healing Power adds to your heals. I can tell you that on my Necro I changed out several pieces of cleric’s gear, lowering HP by more than 250. On the regeneration applied (trait, focus 4, staff 2) I barely noticed a difference.
Finally, look at how often you can apply heals. Some of them have more than 10 second CD’s.
Right now I am having an issue on how to tell when the Superior Sigil of Water activates. There really is not a clear sign of what it does or how I can tell how much HP its giving me when I have full hp practicing on the PvP bots.
I wish they would be more clear on this stuff.
Sigil of water heals for 380+(0.1*healing power) and is based on the percentage of a percentage. If you have 50% chance to crit for example you would then have a 30% chance of procing that heal
Roughly a 15% chance at the heal going off per offensive skill used. for 380+(0.1*healing power)

Sigil of life is a lot harder. Lets assume you have no build up time and always have 25 stacks so 250 healing it would add
62 healing on every geyser
31 healing per second on every regen
250 healing on water trident
80 healing on cone of cold
250 healing on cleansing wave (dodge roll)
Remember though you will not always have 250 stacks, and you can lose them by going down. Hope that helps you decide.

Edit
Generally speaking healing power/healing sigils aren’t good enough to truly invest in however if you are set on this, I would suggest looking at sigil of water only if your crit is over 40%. The sigil of life will not boost any one skill to the levels that the sigil of water will passively heal you if your crit is that high (because of skill cooldowns). With an elementalist and using Arcane Fury you should be at just about permanent +20% crit chance. If you have built yourself well, 50% shouldn’t be that far off. If however you are looking at 20% or lower then you are looking at a 6% or lower chance for the heal proc to go off. It simply isn’t worth it, and at that point I would suggest using sigil of life.

I think ill just stay with the Superior Sigil of Life then. For what the Superior Sigil of Water gives me on heal, its disgustingly cheap and barely helpful. I rarely go down except on legendaries who insta-down players, but that can’t really be helped.
Thanks for the stats Lokki, but I wouldn’t be asking this question if arena net had it so when you logged out or waypointed long distances all your stacks would get reset.
Both. Build the 25 stacks, then swap out weapons.
