Guild Wars 2

I don’t think this has been mentioned enough, and probably deserves its own thread, even though I see a lot of engineers in game are already realizing it.

I had originally seen the idea in this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Important-Toolbelt-Use-Tip-Make-the-most-of-your-stats/181085

So I decided to confirm it. Ideally we would like all Sigil’s to effects kits but this can be an interim solution. This is a list of on kill stacking sigils, I pulled from the wiki.

Sigil of Bloodlust: You gain + 5, 7, 10 power each time you kill a foe.
Sigil of Corruption: You gain + 5, 7, 10 condition damage each time you kill a foe.
Sigil of Life: You gain + 7, 10 healing each time you kill a foe.
Sigil of Luck: You gain + 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% magic find each time you kill a foe.
Sigil of Perception: You gain + 5, 7, 10 precision each time you kill a foe.

Yup, that works.

You can’t stack the buff though, only make use of it while using a kit.

Yeah. Good luck using them to great effect in Dungeons or WvW. =/

Pretty easy to stack in WvW, just run off and punch some jaguar cubs or whatnot until you’re at 25 stacks.

I do admit for dungeons it’s kind of a crap solution, unless you know some hidden spawn locations like the 30 risen spiders at the start of Arah.. and then never, ever get downed.

Well, it’s better than nothing… As mentioned above, the hard dungeon fights where it would be most needed are the ones that will benefit the less from these sigils, because of frequent periods of downed state. However it most certainly provide a nice boost in general PvE content.
There is no ideal solution as long as kits do not benefit at all from weapon stats/sigils. For now I like to use a sigil of rage, for the surprise quickness effect.
