30% Chance on Critical: Gain Might (10 seconds) [2 second internal cooldown]

How come it doesn’t seem like any Eles are using this? I’ve noticed that most people running D/D go for Superior Sigil of Battle on the main hand, and swap between a Sigil of Force dagger and a Sigil of Bloodlust dagger on the off-hand.

Assuming your crit chance is around 25%, 45% with Fury, wouldn’t it make more sense just to go with Sigil of Strength instead of Sigil of Force? My Ele is only level 45 so I’m not really experienced… could anyone explain this to me? :|

Sigil of Superior Battle provides 3 stacks of might for 20 seconds on a 9 second cooldown so you can more-or-less maintain 6-9 stacks of might with it on an ele.

Sigil of Superior Might provides 1 stack for 10 seconds on a 2 second (wiki seems uncertain, might be 1 second) so you can more-or-less maintain 5 stacks of might with a high-crit build.

Even if it is 1 second cooldown you’d need both fast attacks (so you are attacking often enough to trigger it) and a very high crit build, to maintain 9-10 stacks of might with it you’d basically have to crit 3+ times per second on average.

Boon duration affects both sigils equally and was therefore ignored.

I’m not sure if I’m not understanding you or if I wasn’t clear enough…

I mean Sigil of Battle on main-hand, Sigil of Strength on off-hand. Do “on crit” sigils not work with “swap” sigils? I just want to know if it’s better to use sigil of FORCE or sigil of STRENGTH on the off-hand. >.<

ah, my bad, i only skimmed the end of your post

honestly i agree it would be better than sigil of force, but i think that part of it is that if you max out might on your own you wont gain any from allies (ever been in a group of 4 d/d eles? it a lot of might from combos)

That IS true …

LOL. Instead of having 3 daggers, I could carry 4 around. One main-hand with Sigil of Battle, one off-hand with Sigil of Bloodlust, one off-hand with Sigil of Force for groups, one off-hand with Sigil of Battle for soloing. xD

Someone needs to test this. I’m not even level 80 yet so I can’t do anything in PvE, but I guess I could do some testing in The Mists. :o

The sigils would share a cooldown, meaning if your battle proc’d from attunement swap, you wouldn’t get a might stack on crit for 9 seconds.

Well, looks like that ends that. xD

Thanks.
