Guild Wars 2

The idea behind this would be to add a new sigil to the game called sigil of blasting. It would create a blast finisher at your location that triggers on weapon swap in combat and would have a 10 second cool down. (if the 10 second cd is a bit to short maybe give it a shorter internal cd and a chance to trigger the blast finisher). This was just a little idea i had that i thought would be pretty cool. It would also help classes with little access to blast finishers (Yes im looking at my ranger here). Anyways, thoughts? Personally I think its a good idea for a sigil and would be pretty balanced.

I don’t think it would be unbalanced, but blast on swap seems kind of conceptually weak. It would make more sense if it was a chance on hit, guaranteed on crit, etc. (though those would obviously be more difficult to use.)

It was just an idea i had while playing my ranger. The class has one blast finisher and its very unreliable because its an AI controlled skill used by drake pets. The sigil would make certain builds that lack finishers a little more viable while not giving them any real advantage in pvp. I went with on weapon swap to give the player a bit more control over the sigil and still making it useful to players with low crit chance

Next hit after you swap weapons has 100% chance to trigger a blast finisher. Or however you wanna word it. Problem solved.

Your next attack after swapping to this weapon while in combat has a 100% chance to cause a blast finisher. (Cooldown: 27/18/9)

Edit:
NOTE: THIS WILL NOT CAUSE A DOUBLE FINISHER. If you choose to attack with a skill that already counts as a finisher, you will waste your charge.
