Since the nerf to stacking weapons I’ve been looking to replace it permanently with either bursting or torment. Anyone tried it? Here is my current build:

I personally wouldn’t take the torment sigil on your build since you won’t stack much torment you have a lot of condition upkeep so you don’t really need it as a cover condition and you don’t have a huge crit chance so once again you won’t be able to maximise stacking potential, sigil of geomancy or sigil of hydromancy would be my choice for offensive sigils or take sigil of energy since that dodge.
bursting is good but I don’t think it works out to be stronger then taking a condition sigil.
I use sigil of torment, the damage isnt anything special but its one more condition that is always there stealing cleanses while burn and confusion tick away.
and fyi, you can still swap out of stacking weapons and keep the stacks, if you have the same stacking sigil on your underwater weapon
I have to say I noticed a big change on damage output against mobs that were very mobile when I tried NOT having torment on my main. It doesn’t look like it’s doing much at first but the more they move the bigger the numbers become and it actually does last longer than the other conditions do.
