Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I tried the new version of the sigil of energy and I noticed that it gives 5 seconds of vigor and not 9. Is it a bug or is it intended?

The cooldown of the sigil is 9 seconds, as written down on the tooltip. The duration is not on the tooltip, and is set to 5 seconds; it is not a bug.

not a bug. it’s intentionally useless
dunno why they didn’t just remove it

They should have just nerfed it down to major sigil’s effect: +25 endurance on weapon swap. I don’t think anyone was looking for energy sigils to be nerfed or removed and it’s weird that they would do that.

It was a bunker sigil a long time ago.

Last year, everybody was using it.

Abused from engi, ele, herald, druids, necro… all builds that can trigger it more than once, because it’s linked individually on the on swap ability (including Shroud or Celestial Avatar Form or Legends).

1 free dodge on each swap is too much avoidance for people running offensive amulet.

You still can abused this to dodge more with the Adventurer Runes, but now at least it’s not link to swap and rune selection is more important than sigil to define a spec.

So, Daredevil, arcane ele, bunk guard that want to dodge heal, can use adventurer runes to make dodging the core mechanic of a spec. But they loose way much than a sigil.

Meanwhile revenants have a built in energy sigil on their 0 cooldown breakstun evade…
