Guild Wars 2

worth running on a great sword? on a lock down spec?

PvP or WvW?

On Greatsword, with Furious Interruption, yes… Depending on context.

SPvp on great sword bro when ever you get on add me in game.

Will do man, tonight most likely.

And my quick texting-from-the-bathroom-tmi-lol response is that great sword works with sigil of rage, but the sigil alone has too big of an ICD (30s) to be reliable since it can proc on any random hit.

Sigil of rage is more of a.. Convenient add-on only when you have already a reliable source of quickness, such as Furious Interruption (6/6/x/x/x is the setup that I’ve tried. I always run Shattered Concentration so it kind of forces my hand).

It’ll be more valuable when we can pair it with chronomancers quickness-shatters and wells. But right now it only tends to be worthwhile when paired with Furious, otherwise you’d just be better off netting more damage from sigil of fire/air.

currently im testing stuff out going 2/6/6/0/0 has been good to me so far but quickness doesn’t come out very often though.

As it is currently, you have to expect it rather than react to it.

Furious Interruption has a 15s internal cooldown at the moment, so the best way to know when to plan for the proc is after each weaponswap. If greatsword is your goal, try to land your first interrupt with the GS (and watch for the distortion-like effect of quickness) and know what you want to do when you have it:

• autoattacks to proc air/fire sigils
• GS4+GS2 + GS 3 + Shatter
• Heal
• Mantra Charge
• Phantasm Summon

Also keep in mind interrupting while performing a stomp/rezz (usually with the mantra) will speed up the channel of the kill/save. It definitely takes some getting used to. I usually throw sigil of rage on sword or scepter for the autoattacks (or confuse ray in scepters case)
