Guild Wars 2

Anybody tried full Sinister with a burning build? I have the trinkets so I threw them on and it’s doing okay, but I wanted to get some other peoples input before I re-stat my armor/weapons. Any thoughts on Runes/Sigils too? Flame Legion looks like an option.

I’ve tried a full dire ele. Undead runes, condi stacks, guard stacks, sigil of bursting, and both the fire and earth traits to boost condi damage. Sitting at 2,695 condi damage with no might. I hit an engi with a 6.2k burn tick.

I don’t have a set of Sinister ,so i cant give input there . What I have been playing with is Rampager and it is an effective,strong damage set. Todays patch release increased the damage considerably. I slotted Flame Legion Runes for armor and sigil of Smoldering and Strength for weapons. The decision comes when you ask " Do I want more crit for power burst ,sigil procs and traits, or more consistent condition damage."

That seems really strong as a WvW Condi Ele build, but I’m shooting for something as glass cannon as possible purely for PvE’s sake. I think I’m just gonna do it and see how it goes in Sinister. At least the swap back is cheap too.
