Guild Wars 2

Hello all. I have just got a quick question regarding elveling. I have currently got a level 35 elementalist and a 42 warrior ( and a smattering of sub level 20’s) and have been doing some research and have going with I think it’s Bloodlust (up to 25 stacks of power) and Fire (AoE fire pulse on crit)and going for precision gear to boost my crit chance for more AoE fire pulses to help with chain pulling and faster kill quest completion.

Now I am just wondering if there is a better combo of sigils or am I sitting on the better combo for leveling?

Sincerely, while you are leveling, sigils barely matters for a 2 reasons.

• You’ll change weapons often and keep the sigils will be hard/annoying
• Sigils under lvl 60 gives a very small benefit, barely noticeable.

Bloodlust + Fire is a great combo if you have enough precision to proc the fire one, also try to have Bloodlust in 1 of your underwater weapons, so you won’t lose the stack if you enter in the water, but overall, I wouldn’t worry about sigils at all.

just use whatever you can find or they give you while you level.

only spend on lvl 80 end game gear

If you are leveling by clearing zones, then Bloodlust of the best type you can equip is suggested…..ANYTHING that boosts your power will speed up killing. Note that you need to get a MYSTIC FORGE SALVAGE KIT as soon as possible as it will allow you to get a good chance of retaining upgrades off of old equipment at a lower kit cost. It does take some initial investment but provides 250 salvages with a HIGH rate of upgrade return (I would not suggest using MF kit this on ALL salvage items….just what you want to get upgrades from).

Per above, the ONLY thing I would suggest possibly buying (from the TP or via karma NPC) is +POWER jewelry (since very little is given as reward and NEVER drops) and possibly one or 2 of the RARE (racial) weapons you can get at LVL 40 and 60. Beyond that, save your gold and karma.

Sigil of Speed.

Bloodlust and Speed is definitely best for exploration/map completion. Probably also the best for Edge of the Mists.

For leveling by boss trains, it depends on how many mobs are killed during pre-events or during the event. Low numbers make Bloodlust and Speed less effective, and something like Fire and Air may be more effective.

Didn’t think of the Speed one, I’ll look into it. Also I already have my underwater weapon with the bloodlust sigil so I indeed keep stacks. I also do map completion before moving on simply so I don’t backtrack later.

Also regarding costs, as my toons are currently sub level 39, I’m using the minor sigils which are around 30 copper per (not upgraded the warriors ones yet because I’m upgrading weapons shortly, but that will be to the major sigils).

Thanks for the replies.

While a Mystic Forge Salvage Kit is nice, its hardly worth using it to salvage blues and greens, especially when you consider how cheap Minor and Rare Sigils are. It will probably save you a few silver at most when using it for Sigils you want to keep during the leveling up process.

Also, for efficient leveling, there is no reason not to buy all your armor/weapons/accessories off the TP. If you buy blue quality gear, you will be able to sell it back on the TP for what you paid for them (at the very least). As for a weapon, you should buy a green one as they usually don’t go for more than a few silvers and is the single best gear investment for increasing your killing speed (and thus coin/loot/exp per hour).

As a rule of thumb, affordable gear upgrades are available every 5 levels. Place orders for gear ahead of time so that you can get them for cheap.

For sigils, Bloodlust is OP at lower levels but tapers off around your level I think (30-40) but is still a nice sigil. Sigil of Speed (perma Swiftness) is really nice from 0-80 and dirt cheap to buy.

Warrior I’d go with bloodlust, speed or perception. Ele… I mostly levled as a fire ele, so anything related to that, but most any sigil is good just depending on how you build and play. Leveling (been a looong time) but I mostly AOE there, so I’ve found the first three most useful for quick stacks or prolonged run speed for any class. Run speed is always really useful, and seems essential for melee, so have some run speed boost someplace in the mix.

anything that adds swiftness duration. Having perma run speed is better than any minor DPS boost.

By the time you finish a heart, you should have around 3 minutes of speed to move on to the next one. It is really really useful.
