Guild Wars 2

According to the news, all proc sigils will change from “…on crit” into “….on hit”, will this change make rabid condimancer that use sigil of earth force to change all gears into something else?

What do you guys think?

no, we still have barbed precision which makes up around 2~4 stacks of bleeding also where did you find this news?

If they don’t touch the old curse traits, rabid maybe still have its use..

I can find it it only changes that some on proc will be made more reliable(higher % when the conditions are met) and that some defensive “on crits” will be “on hit”. Also on the photo of sigil of fire stands “50% on critical”.

I thought only certain sigils would be on hit? The weaker ones like Frailty and Water.

Nice catch..Tim! Guess i miss the sigil of fire is still on crit
However I am not sure the word “defensive” they are using in the post, because sigil of Purity they are using there is kind of more offensive sigil imo but i may be wrong tho..

purity removes a condition I’m pretty sure it is defensive. Sigil of earth is 100% offensive so is sigil of tormentso we don’t have to wory about rabid gear become useles with the new sigils. The nerf to dhuumfire will make it less important but still not useless.

True…and now I even see the 30/30/x/x/x can be useful after this patch, we will lose some condi CD due to the rune change, but 30 in spite can easily make up that + the new spite GM looking good to me…

Actually, I suspect the boost to Necro healing through traits and runes may slightly reduce Rabid gear’s attractiveness more than the change to Dhuumfire, runes, or crit bonus. Rabid has condition damage, precision, and toughness but, at least in my opinion, toughness won out over vitality because Necro healing scaled so poorly. It was more difficult to refill a high health pool than it was to reduce incoming damage so building around vitality was like including a timer that would run out. A smaller health pool with high toughness and Consume Conditions usually performed better.

I suspect Valkyrie, Carrion, and similar gear will be more attractive to Necromancers after the update. The vampiric trait improvements promised months ago never happened but they would have also helped.

My secret hope is that the coming balance patch will encourage players running heavy armor to trait for toughness and take aggro. The formula for aggression overvalues armor so that dungeon bosses chase down the light armored Necromancer before going after high dps players just because a Necro traited for the skills in the DM line, or wore toughness armor.

We will still be fine ! You shouldn’t worry about it to much !

we will still have some on crit sigils. Not all crit sigils will become on hit.
