Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I am wondering if exchanging ‘Sigil of Air’ in my build to ‘Sigil of Blood’ would give me more sustain without hurting my damage too bad? Atm, ‘Sigil of Air’ is bugged, so both sigils have an ICD of 5 seconds.

Here is my current build: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-g;4VwkZ0U5R-Vd0;9;4IMK;0148247146;4IJV44;1udbTudbTNBGvF6-6;2VhVlWqXv2147a6Z-870HV8aNX8a;9;9;9;9;9;55k3z

Feel free to comment on my build too, just know that this is what works for me.

Thank you,

wait… Sigil of Air is bugged? O-o

According to the Guild Wars 2 Wiki, yes :/

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Sigil_of_Air

roughly number different would be
lighting sigil is 1k – 1.3k
blood sigil sit around 500 -700

with your build it pretty gimmick i would take more dmg over trying to live with blood sigil

Does Sigil of Blood do damage even when you are at full health? Or do you have to have damage before it procs so it can steal health?

so just use a major for now.

Since more than a year, there’s no difference between the Major and the Superior, they’re both on an ICD of 5 secs, I checked after the last patch in game to be sure about that with 100% crit chance, still bugged. :\

Yes it does.

Sigill of blood can be usefull against tankier comps, but tbh I´m not changing from air/fire anymore. Mostly you either oneshot together with the mesmer, kill low health targets or pressure zerker.

So as long as ‘Sigil of Air’ is bugged to have a 5 seconds internal cd, there isn’t that much diffrence between the two sigils.

Thank you, and everyone else that have replied

If u r going to switch I’d switch to rage… Quickness will give you more dps…

Doubtfull, since it’s on a 30 second ICD, and only three seconds of quickness. Still, If you have tested it I would love to hear you out

Superior Sigil of Air is bugged??
Nice, been buying it all along for my alts, could have saved quite some money by simply buying the Major one…

Sadly yes :/

I’ve had inconsistent results with it popping me out of stealth too. Can anyone confirm? It seems to hurt the most when you so the CnD into Steal (without Cloak on Steal).

True, happened to me as well – seems like the actual air strike takes some time in these moments and the damage dealt reveals you.
iirc (playing S/D so i am not 100% up to date) it also happens when you simply C&D

i wrote a post on this a long time ago but if you cast CnD Well jumping your sigil have a delay cast forcing a reveal
