Guild Wars 2

50% chance on kill to grant a random boon.

Some of you may have been experimenting with this as well so feedback would be great. This is a very situational sigil as if your not killing frequently then you are getting relatively nothing out of it. If you are killing frequently though, you get access to some nice defensive boons and there is no cooldown on the sigil. The wiki lists the boon supplied and there durations; Aegis (10sec), Protection (3sec), Regen (5sec), Retaliation (5sec), and Swiftness (5sec). I though I saw vigor as well but my current build runs invigorating speed and infused precision so it was hard to tell what was granting the vigor. I am not running a boon duration build so I can’t speak to if increased duration affects the boons granted by this sigil but I assume it does. The sigil is not activated from killing abient creatures so you will just have to enjoy lighting bunnies, birds, and armadillos on fire just for the sake of it. I have not tried running two of these at once so if someone has it would be nice to see the results. The RNG nature of the rune will probably make some of you wince…myself included at times. But there are certain traits that can take advantage of this, not to mention boon stacking if you run an elixir/boon duration build. Let me know what you guys/gals think.

I speculated a bit on some of the magic find gear, and this was one of the pieces I picked and stock-piled. Unfortunately.

In PvE – There are a dozen better sigils, and as Engineers, we can trait VERY heavily for boons anyway, so this is lacking in about every department.

PvP/WvW – S/d thieves, Necro’s Corrupt Boon, and the ‘on kill’ requirement make this as much a liability as a benefit.

This is only my opinion, but judging by the price, I would guess I am not alone.

It is very common in WvWvW for all classes to stack up bloodlust/corruption/perception and then swap that weapon out for other sigil. Due to stacking problems on proc sigils people (atleast big part of the top guilds who know that they constantly get kills) often use Stamina (endurance refilled with kill) on atleast one of their weapons.

However I would say if that class already has perma vigor, or using Energy sigil, or some other method of regularly filling that dodge bar. It’s probably better to use Sigil of luck over Stamina. So for 2 weapon engineer with vigor kits I say it’s definetly worth trying after kills stacks, over Stamina.

The only time I think it can be considered useful is when fighting a thief or mes in wvw and they stealth and dump all the aggroed animals on to you. Might as well turn all that dump into boons
