Guild Wars 2

currently using superior sigil of fire/ force on dagger/pistol
shortbow currently using bloodlust/fire although i’m thinking of switching to bloodlust/energy, as usually only use bow to escape fights and what not.

what do you guys use?

Force/Fire on Dagger/Dagger and then offhand Pistol with Bloodlust (this way force is up on both sets). I only use D/P for gap-close/interrupt or blinding hammers.

Energy on shortbow to escape… like a kitten!

I’m weird so I use:

Hydromancy and air on D/P
Energy and fire on SB (unless I’m in China servers I use fire air on SB)

I use Air and Fire but first, I use Bloodlust/Fire. Once I hit 25 stacks, I swap to Air/Fire. As long as your water weapon has bloodlust as one of its sigils, you won’t lose the stacks. Maybe they will fix this in an upcoming patch I don’t know nor care but until then, that’s what I use.

I use Air for the Mainhand Dagger and Force for the Offhand.

Afaik the Offhand Sigil only proccs if you use a corresponding attack. So Air will only procc with attacks 1-3 and whatever you have on your offhand, only from 3-5. But I’m not entirely sure about that.

Anyway, the reason for Air on mainhand is simply for the added Backstab burst. You want it to apply as much pressure as possible and Air helps with that.

That’s also the reason I opted for Force, since that also helps boost Backstab damage. But you could also argue for other Sigils. My concern about those would be though if you use 3-5 frequently enough to procc them reliably.

It would be dump to have Fire on the Offhand and then only procc it ever 10 seconds or so.

It doesn’t matter what wep you put your proc sigils. Air will proc on your dagger auto attacks even if you put air on your pistol.

Air/Fire on D/P and Ice/Fire on Shortbow is what I currently have. Not sure if it’s ideal.

mmmm , seems like mostly fire/air or force/bloodlust combinations currently

im using air/fire sigil for D/P
