Guild Wars 2

Superior Sigil of Whirling Deflection: Create a whirlwind that reflects projectiles when executing a whirl finisher. (Cooldown: 10 Seconds)

Superior Sigil of Explosive Vortex: Pull nearby enemies towards you when executing a blast finisher (600 radius). (Cooldown: 10 Seconds)

hope to god these don’t make it to PvP

more projectile hate and CC…

Great job anet, more passive AOE CC!

i’ll take your word on this.

Rip brain. Even if they wont make it to spvp it will be gamebreaking in wvw.

more CC in pvp!! yes1!!!!111!

Interesting for sure, but definitely not needed…..

Imagine what a full bunker guard/war could do… or scrappers (among other classes)

Hammer Trap guard for even more pulls into the traps lol….

That explosive vortex…what? It’d better make it to pvp.

Actually im fairly certain this will be added to pvp

Dude that sigil is insane..wth

If this isn’t a joke that pull on blast would be hilarious on hammer Warriors

600 radius? What a joke.
More projectile hate? What a joke.

Obvious incompetence.

Minus the fact that only burst skills are blast finishers..

Revenant with these sigils on the other hand.. staff 4 is blast finisher, a nice combo into jade winds/surge and projectile reflect on sword 2..

Hmmmmm

Obvious incompetence.

I also thought 600 might be a bit low then when you think about it, it can work. The class that needs this sigil the most is necro and necro can get within that range easily thanks to chill, the problem has always been landing its most damaging strings and this sigil might actually help with that especially when it comes to GS builds

Putrid explosion into grave digger. Since ptrid has no cast time, you can start your grave digger while simultaneously using putrid. Can also use putrid to AoE lock for a moment while casting “Chilled to the bone”and hit more targets instead of hoping it doesnt get avoided

Flesh wurm port into grave digger. Wurm cast is so long but if you start it in time, you can port into grave digger without being forced to chase then grave digger or having to cast the wurm exactly on the target which is about impossible in PvP

This sigil is quite genius.

Just because you can data mine it, it in no way means it will be in the game at any point. Same as the level 40,50,60,70 and 80 XP scrolls.

Not to mention tempests lol….

Whirlwind and Invuln from earth focus, whirlwind with fire overload, earth aura lol…
And even as they are now, theyre pretty well equipped against ranged. A few blasts as well to top it all off.

Gotta be kittenting me

Lol, I thoguht Anet was actually getting better with balancing since HoT. Guess not.

A BIT LOW?

maybe not low, i thought, 750 or 700 might be better but perhaps that would be too much

These are most likely going to be PvE sigils, think of how long it took certain sigils to even be considered for adding to PvP.

10 sec CD, 600 radius AOE pull….gotta be kidding me.
This has to be 60 sec CD, right?

Projecile Reflextion on a whirling attack 10seconds! well if that Gets Released DH’s Will have Projecile Defence too on the gS!

Aoe pull more CC on a blast , i can see this sigil being useful for rangers Drakes on petswap pulling things on its tail swipe Blast finisher and Warhorn Utility but again its just more CC everyone will take in place of Real Utility CC to make up for it then slot more offensive skills/defence skill.

No anet just no!
Pve ya fine , makes it easier for casual players in HoT .

Dunno where you got that idea. The period after HOT until the January update was the worst balance ever. Its slightly better now but there are still a lot of issues.

I think dumbfire was worse tbh. That January period was pretty rough though.

Anyway, those sigils cant be added to pvp. Temporal curtain pull on a 10 sec cd lol. I remember when temporal curtain was instant and I really dont want that again.

Woot – Hammer Guard FTW! (the CD on that pull cannot be correct)

Honestly, people always seem to freakout without thinking. Thats how so many complained about mordrem dragon finisher when it was announced saying that because of its size people will be able to use it to prevent opponents from seeing their skills.

GS 5 on guard lasts 3/4 of a second. and doesnt have AoE defence. The cooldown on both sigils is 10 seconds but look at the cooldowns on the finishers then look at their limitations. Some of them have a very small radius, some have really long cast time and some have very little AoE defence on the weapons that have the finishers.

Does anyone know where or how to get yet?

rip when this sigils go live even just in pve because for anet wvw=pve e.g. we still have the broken durabilty rune there.

Pull on blast finisher? Get ready to bow to your Engine overlord!

They really need to not allow some sigils to work in WvW.

OK guys on a blast finisher skill or on a blast combo because there is a huge difference.

Explosive Vortex should be amazing for revenant.
1200 range blast finisher + 600 radius.

10 second cooldown is probably for testing purposes.

Still though, what the actual kitten ArenaNet? Stop breaking Guild Wars 2 combat!! This is only interesting ON PAPER, in practice you can achieve some seriously unfair bull crap.

Inb4 april fools.

And also why is everyone taking this at face value? First off – Source? Second off, there have been many things datamined which haven’t made it into the game.

With those names I don’t believe this at all. But it does seem like anet to put something that stupid into the game

source is that_shaman

Considering the amount of reflections/cc we already have in the game i hope this is only for pve.

Honestly, it’s like Engineers are always gettting the best stuff and are always OP in every single meta.. I wonder why

Almost certainly PvE only sigils…

…but the fact that these sigils that are not only not confirmed to ever be added, nor is there any proof this will make it to PvP won’t stop people from losing their kitten over this.

Spot on they won’t be in pvp for sure. I’ll look forward to using them in WvW though.

Remember the days when they wanted to add Perplexity Runes to PvP?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Perplexity-Runes-in-PvP-PLEASE-NO/page/2#post3828458

Holy kitten, Anet. You really want to make Scrappers more powerful than Reapers? They’re both easily the top specs right now.

I really like the Idea of having the effects trigger on certain combo-finishers. But srsly; we have more than enough projectile-hate in pvp atm. ^^’
