Depends on what you do most.

But most would say fire now since the air nerf. Because SB is the goto weapon in aoe situations and fire sigil compounds this.

Well if it’s Fire vs. Air I’d say pick Fire. Air does only slightly more damage and Fire is AoE, which ends up dealing more damage in most situations.

However you might also want to consider Perception if you don’t have a stackig Sigil yet since the Shortbow stacks up quite quickly.

I use Fire on mine and it’s awesome. :P Might get nerfed with the AOE changes though.

Fire all the way on shortbow. Seeing your sigil of air trigger on an off target from a trick shot bounce feels real bad; short bow is ideal for AoE situations and the sigil of fire excels in those same situations. It’s the easiest sigil choice of any thief set.
