Guild Wars 2

I’m thinking about putting this on my staff but wanted to know if anyone here has tried it and if it is worth the 2g.

It doesn’t work for Elementalist yet. At all. Just grab Evasive Arcana with a Sigil of Energy.

The healing range is only 300, so if you had group support in mind, this doesn’t strike me as a very good idea for a staff.

I think it’s main focus would fall to support guardians.
How much can it actually heal for with 30 water and clerics/celest? (assuming it worked for Eles that is)
I can see how it would be good for group. You’re doing your thing, dpsing, cc’ing, then switch to water to group heal. Your team mates would get an instant heal from the swap, then aoe regen, then an aoe to blast up the rest of the way. But that might be overkill. 2 thieves blasting 1 healing rain can pretty much top everyone off. If you’re swapping often, or moving through groups (such as you would in a gvg) while swapping, then those passing heals along with the regen might be even better.

It’s difficult to keep people topped off in this game, and it would be nice if this sigil made it easier to do that.

It just seemed a great way to keep my own health up since I swap attunements so often and 300 range isn’t much . With it I could justify taking some points out of water to get some more offensive skills. To bad it don’t work for us, it’s just like Anet to release an awesome weapon upgrade the works for everyone but Ele.

maybe u werent incombat, so it may work during combat. the 300 range may work on s/d build where u stay 0 to 900 range to target and among team mates. also as other swap sigils it doesnt work on every atunement swap but at some cicles i dont know about. careful not to confuse it with the 15 pt water heal. Anyway hope it may be fixed soon

As an on-swap cooldown, it has an internal cooldown of 9 seconds. It also only heals for ~350 + .1 healing power, so never more than 500. That’s not nothing, but it isn’t much if you’re hoping to use it for yourself.

Kind of useless, that’s only 35-50 every second, might as well just eat mango pie get a sigil that’s actually useful. Maybe I’ll try it on my regen warrior that has a 5 second weapon swap.

Yeah for self healing sigils Blood is the best if you have decent crit chance and Leeching is halfway decent if you don’t. Leeching is also an on-swap sigil but it guarantees a 900 heal for you, opposed to Renewal that only heals 400ish.

The main issue is that instead of the heal, Sigil of Battle can give you 9 stacks of might. That to me at least, is enough reason not to use it yet. Maybe if battle were nerfed…or if defense actually started to matter…

I’m quite familiar with how Weapon Swap Sigils work. It still does not work.

I use it and like it. I use 0/10/0/30/30 My primary is Staff. It really helps with healing. There are a lot that say you cannot heal in this game but as Ele I found I can heal for quite a bit. You just have to know how to use it.

Are you 100% sure it’s working? I just tested it again for good measure and I’m still getting nothing. Are you sure the Sigil healed and it wasn’t just Water Swap?

I don’t think it’d really be worth it for us compared to something like sigil of battle. We already have large heals built into our class as our defensive mechanism, so these small heals won’t really mean as much to us as they would to another class with weaker healing abilities.
