So, I’m running a thief, P/P and D/D, with a Critical Chance of 51% and a Crit. Dmg of 86%. Right now I’ve got a Sup. Sigil of Air and Battle on each loadout.

Would it be more advantageous to run Sup. Sigils of Strength instead of Battle? Or would this just be a wash? I realize this comes down to play style, length of encounter and situation. But all things being equal, which would be better you think?

sigil of strength wont work well with sigil of air, all the crit based sigils share a cooldown. so if air procs, then strength cant till the cooldowns comes up, and vice versa

As you mention playstyle is important.
IMO for d/d – battle makes more sense – since you don’t want might eventually, you want it in time for the first backstab.
For p/p strength makes sense, since you’re hitting a lot, assuming you’ve got frequent crits, you can probably maintain slightly more might over time.

As Shemsu pointed out, you shouldn’t run two sigils with cooldowns in the same set, because they share a global cooldown, so your battle sigils are making your air sigils not proc.

Better to go with one constant effect and one proc effect on each weapon. Also best not to have something like Air on one set and battle on the other – since if air procs and you swap before the cd is up, you won’t get battle to proc.

As to whether to go with air or strength/battle, I think Air is probably more dps, and also not subject to boon removal.
