Guild Wars 2

Hi. I’ve been mixing alitte with a build i’ll use when i get my guardian to 80. My attack is 2679 and my crit chanse is 35(this is unbuffed). My problem is wether to use Sigil of Bloodlust or Sigil of Perception. Would be nice with some tips. Thx.

Build: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-9;4RFV4093RG-90;9;6TT9;445A19A1;06;5CqNYCqNYn-FW0-y;3Vn5oao5pap5qa-uVIF310o

The general rule of thumb that I have seen mentioned is that for pure damage, you should add as much power as you can and only take precision when it isn’t costing you power (for example, berserker’s gear has just as much power as any other power primary gear, so it is good. Assassin’s gear gets more precision then berserker’s at the cost of an equal amount of power, so it results in less damage). The only on-crit effect I see in your build is vigorous precision, which should trigger frequently enough already with your current 35% crit chance. So I would recommend the sigil of bloodlust.

Something to keep in mind regarding those stacking sigils.

You loose the stack if you are downed, and if you change maps. You then need to re-fill the stack again, and this can be very annoying. I used to use the perception sigil on my ranger way back, and switched over to sigils of strength.

However, in your case your crit chance is not that great to use sigils that have a 30% chance to trigger on crits. I would suggest using a straight up damage sigil like force instead of stacking sigil.

Thanks for the tips guys, really helped
Btw, the plan was to have a stacking set(sword/focus or something) to stack up bloodlust. Will not be running GS with bloodlust.

it’s also important to know what crit damage you are causing but given what I read, Bloodlust would be my choice.
