Guild Wars 2

PvE ele. And also tell me why is one better than the other.

Use sigil of strength for staff because you don’t really swap attunement in PvE anyways. Plus, it syncs well with the multi hit Lava-Font + Meteor and the auto attack.

Strength is better because in PvE you are constantly doing damage. At most you can get 9 stack of might from sigil of battle but it takes 30s to build up. with strength you can get that in half the time. In pvp it is the opposite since fights are shorter and people can dodge your attack.

Not really. Might from sigil of strength has a shorter duration. The best number of might stack I can manage is around 9-10 stacks during a fight with a relatively 76% critical chance (no group buff). If you play D/D or S/D with more than 40% reduction in attunement recharge or with Fresh Air , sigil of battle has an advantage. As such, sigil of strength for staff and sigil of battle for dagger or focus.

I’ve seen someone run both strength and battle with staff in WvW but it’s another thing to discuss in another time…

Shorter duration, yes but also only has a 1sec cooldown vs the 9sec cooldown on sigil of battle.

I use strength on D/F and find it to be better.
