Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, got a problem.

So i just crafted my Mantodea and since my Huntsmen is a thief i initially had it within my thiefs inventory. Now I´m not really a hardcore player and i´m happy about every exotic i can actually use, and i intended to give the Mantodea to my Engineer. Before i did that however i placed two sigils within it: Mayor Sigil of Paralyzation and Minor Sigil of Celerity. I crafted both of those sigils. Now, my Mantodea is soulbound to my thief, that obviously can´t use a rifle.

Long story short: Got a mantodea soulbound to a thief.

Is there any way i can reverse that soulbounding? Or did i really just loose an exotic with exclusive stats because i placed a minor sigil in it? maybe i can send a ticket to Anet, any chance on success there?

Thx for any help you can give

You’re probably out of luck, as the confirmation dialogue when adding a Sigil says that it’ll bind the weapon.

yea, i only checked it on the mayor sigil, expecting the other sigil to only accbind it too… screw me

Short answer: You can’t unbind it.

Also Nomad stats are horrible for pretty much everything your better of just putting the skin on whatever rifle your engi has now even if its a blue cleric’s rifle it’s still better than an exotic nomad rifle.

and why´s that? it seems to give me quite some tankiness. as far as i know it might work for a bunker engi.

On topic: gonna ask anet about it. maybe they can help me

You can try but i don’t think you will get it reversed. It is because you got your warning before apply sigil that mean the fault is on your head. You are out of luck because of wardrobe that you no longer able to tranmate a weapon to white tier and make it acc bound now. i am sorry this is an expensive lesson.

yeap, seems like

Unfortunately, this is going to be a rather expensive “learning experience” for you.

Adding upgrades to an item above “Fine” (Blue) status soulbinds that item to the upgrading character. Sorry you had to find out this way.

Use a BL Salvage kit on it and maybe you can get back some Ectos and Dark Matter (in addition to the Sigils).

In case your unaware there are no tanks in GW2, The game isn’t designed in a way that you can tank enemies, so defensive stats are useless in pve they only exist as a crutch till you get used to the content. Someone (on the dungeon forum I think) crunched the numbers when nomad came out someone wearing beserker will do 5 times the dmg of someone wearing nomad, someone wearing cleric 3 times.

For WvW it’s only slightly less useless in general you goal is still to kill your enemy( something that nomad’s in no way helps you with) the reason people wear more defensive armor is to survive while doing it. For example the wars and guards in the hammer train wear soldier’s because their job is to CC the enemy while the back-line finises them off it’s still important they do dmg though.

For a bunker engi he’d primarily use dire gear and be running a condi build simply because condi builds only need the condi dmg stat to be effective( in most cases), since nomad’s doesn’t provide condi dmg it’s useless for a bunker engi

I wont way in on spvp because A. you don’t use your pve/wvw stats there. and B. I don’t play spvp enough to have an informed opinion.
