Guild Wars 2

I’m not here to cry about it, I was just surprised when I went to look at the numbers today for a friend. On weapon swap it does an aoe 7 second 3 bleed stack, and at 1280 condi damage (which is what a friend had) it would calculate to about 2,200 damage over 7 seconds. But then it’s AoE… o.O Isn’t that a bit much for an AoE sigil? I mean Fire is only 30% on crit and hits for less than 1,000 with a 5 second ICD, so even assuming it proccing instantly upon CD refreshing it still wouldn’t really reach that sort of damage. (I understand conditions do a little more because they can be cleansed but it still seems to be a little too much for aoe conditions.)

Doesn’t anyone else thing this sigil seems a little too good compared to the other swap-sigils?

You can proc Fire from 1200 range, Geomancy require very close distance. And Fire is instant damage, cannot be cleansed like bleeding stack.

Wait we can swap weapons every 7 seconds?

Geomancy is 9s icd. Its also PtBlAoe. Fire is ranged

What he is saying is

Sigil of Geomancy
Inflict Bleeding on nearby foes for 7 seconds when you swap to this weapon while in combat. (Cooldown: 9 seconds)

main reason why condi meta exists.

But hey, they nerfed mark of blood, now we’ll be fine

Please don’t nerf Dec 10th condi ele before Dec 10th.

At least the name for that sigil will make sense then ><

I get the range on Fire is good, I still think the condi stacking makes it too good and contributes to the condi meta.

Sigil of Elemancy

Avoid nerfs for 7 seconds, 30% patch chance

Sigil of Hydromancy can do upwards of 2K aoe damage with a berserker build, AND it does aoe chill on top. Sigil of Fire can hit much higher from range.. honestly, it’s nice that there are sigils to match each build.
