Guild Wars 2

What builds are you running with this, curious to know.
Thief main, so it’s not exactly desired, considering how much damage I’m losing for 1 boon every 10s. Been thinking of more ways to incorporate it however lately and would like to hear your experience or lack thereof when it comes to running it.
As it is, Would be useful theoretically to my S/P and S/D, but it’s obviously got a list of issues and often the lost in dps from loosing rage or flame drives me up the wall.
I know there is plenty of CC based weapons that definitely would want to remove a boon, but who can run this successfully without deciding they rather pick something else?

Triggers once every 10s, has an ICD so other things get blocked off for it and prevent it. Isn’t guaranteed on crit, so it’s rng on top of rng, you can’t plan for it’s activation to remove boons you care about, it may or may not increase your damage output, and I still can’t tell if it ignores aegis.

I just started using it last night with my short bow, on my ranger. Before any boons I have just under 65% crit, so say 40% chance of the sigil activating on any one hit. Still higher than most of the other crit proc sigils.

I haven’t noticed anything concrete yet, was using Sigil of Earth to really stack the bleeds, and I haven’t particularly noticed it’s absence…

eh i like it in theory, but the 10s cooldown is way too long to make it worth it IMO. depending on your crit, that’s functionally 1 random boon without priority every 12-15 seconds (i have no idea if it procs even if they have no boons and resets the cooldown either).

its not that its useless, it’s just that there are far too many sigils that are simply more useful (air, fire, earth, bloodlust/corruption, force, blood, strength, energy, etc)

I agree with the poster above. On paper, it sounds pretty good, but 10s CD, plus the fact that it can “activate” without the target having any boons, thus missing the point completely is frustrating.

Unless they’ve changed that part….hmm…Anyone know?

Step into an arena with me and we’ll test it out – kinda hard to test on the golems… Message me in game if you’re interested.

One of the problems with it is that it can trigger when there isnt a boon on the target, so you have to wait for that CD, CD needs brought down to 9s or 8s, any lower is on the verge of becoming OP.
