Advice confirmation around sigli choice
I didn’t know you could even switch pistols after you get the stack and still keep it. There is a shared cooldown between the sigil of earth and sigil of battle. What I prefer to use is one sigil with a cooldown and one without so there is never a problem. A sigil of earth for the cooldown and the sigil of accuracy for permanent 5% increase to critical chance is what I use. If you play WvW, it is a waste of time trying to kill things to reach 25 stacks and you can die easily and lose it. The sigil of accuracy bonus will always be there.

I stay at 25 stacks typically the entire time I’m in wvw with little to no effort. Dying only happens in a zerg v zerg fight for me and then very rarely since I build around just that situation. If there was a 5% condition damage sigil I would agree with you but 5% more crit in a condition build is meh (I assume OP is condi since he is p/p).
@OP: 5% crit is probably your best sigil to switch to if you really want to switch every time. I keep Corruption all the time just on the off chance I go down but rally or get picked up – I can begin rebuilding stacks immediately instead of having to exit combat to switch back again.
I’m a P/P condition build as well and there are plenty of crit procs for us.
A highly underrated sigil in WvW is Sigil of Impact. 10% damage bonus to stunned or knocked down foes. In team fights, people spend a good deal of time either knocked down or stunned.

Not enough to make it worth running over corruption there aren’t.
