Hey guys,

I’ve seen some nice math/discussions on geomancy vs say battle but I was curious what some opinions are on

Earth vs Strength sigils

Personally I’ve been mainly looking at the two with sPVP and doing a run of the mill HGH in hot joins

Earth is alright for a crit heavy condition centric build.

However battle tends to work well with anything & the might stacks help weather your running conditions, pure front loaded damage or a combination of both.

Geomancy and battle are much more reliable on engineer since earth and strength rely heavily on you being able to crit all the time, and since engineers have a virtually no good ways to get fury it’s far better to use on swap sigils thanks to kits.

For example rangers get much more out of on crit stuff because they have a good access to fury from trait and skill combinations.

Maybe I should have just refrained from even mentioning battle and geomancy :x lol

Not sure what you mean by access to fury Taku, elixir B + auto elixir B @ 75% health via alch trait line isn’t too bad or if you like to roll with med kit

Personally bud, I would go with Strength. It benefits direct and condition damage. Although it is limited by your crit chance to an extent obviously. Basically I agree with what Ragnar the Rock stated.

As well, I would like to apologize for the 2 extremely rude posters who tried to derail your thread. Some folks apparently feel they are abridged to force their advice, that you didn’t ask for, down your throat, while simultaneously, ignoring the the advice you did ask for.

Since Foxtrot said he/she is running HGH one can assume they are running full elixirs meaning battle and geomancy are useless unless Ofcourse they are running atleast 1 kit. Strength I would probably go for but engineers lack of channelled or multiple hit skills (not including grenades) tend to make this sigil abit lacklustre.

my opinion is that both sigils are weaker than others that fill the same niches and/or are weaker than other options available for the niche you want to place them in and thus a comparison between the 2 is irrelevant.

since op is sorta rude to people who think other things are better, ill leave it at that. i dont feel compelled to think further about kitless condi hgh builds or what sigils would be optimal at this time.
