Guild Wars 2

new take on my favourite lockdown mes build.

Assassin amulet, Sigils of Impact, lots of might on interrupts and thus Strength runes of course. Should I use oh pistol instead of sword for the guaranteed stun?

Looks nice. My immediate suggestion is to take off sigil of impact as it will be hard to time a stun with iWarlock/iSwordman, which are the only two attacks this build would greatly benefit from. Sigil of paralyzation would make all your stuns 1.3 seconds. Or you might just want to use fire/air/generosity/doom instead. If you’re shattering a moderate amount (which it looks like you are from shattered concentration), then keep the energy. If not, I’d go with one of the above sigils or even battle.

If you took Pistol, that would be different as it’s a 2s stun and potentially stuns on its second bounce. Off-hand sword really shines with CI though, especially with stunning interrupting enemy rezzes.

Looks like a great build!!

I don’t believe sigil of impact affects phantasms. You don’t see any mesmers run sigil of force in any build for the same reason.

I think you’re right.

I use stun increase sigils when using pistol and signet of domination. It’s funny watching people chain stunned for ~6s. It almost guarantees a kill if you have a zerker on your target.

Sigils of Impact

Just run the numbers, and compare it to air and fire; you are better of with the on-crit procs.
