Guild Wars 2

I have three level 80’s which I’ve always used the bloodlust sigil with. I’m thinking that sigil would not be the preferred sigil for an elementalist looking to do damage with a staff. Any recommendation for a good sigil, both minor and major, to go with ?

Still a rookie to the profession.

sigil of battle

Thank you again sir.

sigil of fire, way better than battle. Battle has a internal CD of 10 seconds, sigil has 5 and it is an AoE.

Cool. Gonna try out sigil of fire and smoldering. Makes sense that sigil of fire would be a good choice.

IMO, Sigil of Fire is the best option for damage if you have a decent amount of crit.

The only issue is that it does nothing on world bosses, but that’s a pretty insignificant amount of relative play time.

Fire adds a tiny, tiny bit of damage on a relatively long CD. Take Strength or Force, you’ll get more damage overall.

I mean, five seconds isn’t a long cooldown at all.

It is when the blast hits for less than 1k when you’re hitting 6-7k/s. 5% of that will add up to be much more than a 1k hit every 5 seconds.

I build with bloodlust then switch to either smoldering, force or night. Also purity is a favorite, but not in regards to DPS other than in situations where I’m getting a lot of conditions, and purity keeping me up to keep my BL stacks and a utility slot free by not needing the water signet.

How are you hitting for 7k/sec? Tell me your secrets.

Stacking fiery rush on a walled target.

And besides a single attack, there is no denying that once the fire ele starts the wind-up with a staff and other attack skills, it can be a sudden rush of DPS nearly all at once. It’s just not sustainable is all, which is good since by then you have full aggro and best RUUUN!
