Guild Wars 2

Hello guys

I’m wearing Berserker Gear with Malice / Omnberry Pie for massive self healings.

I need a help about the Sigils.
Shall I choose Superior Sigil of Strength:
It has a 2 sec CD – and its gonna proc quite often from the cleave autoattack / PW

Superior Sigil of Fire:
It has a 5 sec CD – it’s gonna do about 2k AOE damage to enemies

I can’t use both because they share CD, so the other option I had was the 5% Damage Sigil.

So, the final question is, shall I get Sigil of Strenght or the Fire one?

that depends, does your build go into acrobatics? if so and you take might on dodge, sigil of strength can help your might stacking. if not, or if you prefer more burst over might stacking take fire. there is no definite better in this situation, it all comes down to how you play and what your traits are.

I tried 10\30\0\15\15 – for Might on dodge and Signet of Shadows for 2 extras dodge, but the DPS is slower IMO, plus I have to keep evading all the time, which will break my DPS

Right now I’m 25\30\0\0\15, Pistol Whip does some sick amount of damage and I get Might pretty fast, but I dont know how much each Might stack raises my DPS

You say I should go Acrobatic for Might on dodge?

no, but if you were built around it sigil of strength would be the better choice. as it is fire would probably serve you better.

Strength sigil really isnt very good. Due to the cooldown it has, the uptime on your mights from it is pretty low.

+5% damage sigil is almost always a solid choice, Air is a very nice dps boost, bloodlust is nice for your shortbow to stack even more power, and Fire is also good if you want to focus more on AE.

As far as might stacking goes, sigil of battle is much better than strength.

10s base Might is actually pretty solid, and any build actually pushing heavy Might should have 40-60 % bonus duration and enough crit to regularly proc the effect. Sigil of Might can proc 4~ times during the weapon swap cooldown that is required for Sigil of Battle, and most importantly doesn’t force weapon swaps to be effective. Strength is easily one of the better sigils if you’re actually running Might synergy.

That said, for the OP: Fire will probably be better, it sounds like he’s not synergizing towards it, and S/P doesn’t really get the most out of Might unless you run condition utilities/dodgetrops.

I thought the cooldown was tested to be 1sec

A player tested it for 2 seconds and also gave the method of testing on the talk page of Sigil of Strength discussion page. The 1 second on the Sigil page mentions no source.
