Guild Wars 2

Sigil of rage is amazing on a dagger mainhand Crit necro. I started using this recently and because of the huge amount of Procs a necro drops constantly. Think about it, wells hitting 5 targets multiple times, life transfer in Ds hitting 5 multiple times, with all the AOE damage we are putting out, we have an abnormally large chance to proc this sigil. I was reliably proccing this sigil all the time in SPVP matches, running a 30 0 10 0 30 build or 30 0 20 0 20 and zerkers amulet. The large number of targets we can hit with wells and life transfer creates a huge number of Crit chances to proc the sigil. Allowing for reliable quickness stomps, plus quickness and dagger auto is phenomenal damage. I tried the sigil messing around, then quickly realized how powerful this is on a necro with wells, as well as staff marks and life transfer.

Give it a try if you guys get a chance and let me know what you guys think.

It gives 3 seconds of quickness with a 45 second cooldown.

IMHO it doesn’t matter how many chances it has to proc, it will only happen every 45 seconds.

Unless something modifies that cooldown, I’ll say no thank you. :/

Useless imo. You’re a lot better off with many other choices. That 3 seconds of quickess is completely wasted most of the time due to you not knowing when its gonna be up.

It procs just as you evade for example. You dodge rolled, wasted 2 seconds of quickness.

Is sigil of battle really so much better?

My experience with a well-bombing build was that when it tends to proc is in the opening of an engagement, right as you are starting to CC and well bomb the enemy. If you see it happening and move in, your dagger’s DPS spike is very frightening amidst the well damage.

It might work for that play style. I usually hangout out of reach (hopefully) and drop bombs running a full glass build. I’ve been running air on my dagger thus far but it could be nice for the burst when people decide they don’t want me to drop bombs on them anymore.

For those of you saying 3 seconds of quickness is worthless is crazy, for tourneys it is prime, quickness stomps and rezzes, it’s easy to know when it Procs, as soon as you drop a well on a busy point get ready for it to proc, because it will. Same with life transfer in a target rich environment. Even if you dodge when it Procs, there is still plenty of time to dps or do whatever.

yeah its amazing I have been using it for months

people who dog on dont know kitten…

I can pull 20k damage off a proc easy and normally more in that 3 seconds

If you are having trouble dealing with the 45 sec cooldown then you need to use your other weapon and DS more.

If all you do is run around noob flailing your “OP DAGGS” then yeah 45 seconds is way too long for YOU to wait.
