Guild Wars 2

I’m running the typical double kit roaming condi engi build with torment and bursting sigils, however, I generally run with the zerg for a set amount of time and the amount of player kills would equal a quick stack of 25 points if it were sigils like bloodlust, momentum and corruption etc.

I’m wondering if it’s worth swapping out bursting for corruption, granted, I can keep myself alive much longer after playing and getting used to the class a bit now.

Is the +250 condi damage (corruption sigil) better than the flat +6% condi damage (bursting) sigil?

It depends mainly on the amount of stacks you can keep.
Assuming you can keep 250 stack, it is a 12,5% dmg increase at 2000 condi dmg.
Beginning at approximately 4200 condi dmg, bursting becomes better than 25 stacks of corruption.

Easy formula to calculate the amount of stacks you need for corruption to be the same as bursting depending on your condi dmg:

x = (y*0,06)/10

x: corruption stacks
y: condi dmg

Thank you for the informative answer! I’ll bear that in mind as the condi damage goes up I may keep bursting. Cheers.
