Guild Wars 2

With no shared cd’s! yay!

I find that to be a considerable buff, seeing as a warrior I like to use hammer/greatsword or lb/greatsword, i guess you can call it a buff to hambow builds as well.

Here come energy and battle sigil stacking.

Yup /15 char hammer/gs myself

This will compensate nicely for the 10% damage loss.

Killshot/evi with both sigil or air AND fire.

Now if only they would make mats for 1h cost half as much and 1h weapons have twice the drop rate.

Does that mean I can have 4 Sigil of leeching and with fast hands I can do 2k dmg and heal every weapon swap?

Sigils with same names will share cd (not sure for rarity though).

Doesn´t matter which rarity, they said that all sigil of the same name would share this CD.

You will notice that the full name of say, a sigil of battle is “MAJOR sigil of battle” (rare) and “SUPERIOR sigil of battle” (exotic)

If prefixes are taken into account, you could have both a major and superior sigil of energy for 75% endurance on swap.

They´re still both sigils of battle and because of that they´ll share a CD

No, you can only have the same sigil proc once, the others are wasted.

I will be playing about with hammer/greatsword when it comes out and its a buff to longbow too, even if they are nerfing the 5 skill slightly.

Source? Haven’t seen this change mentioned so I definitely missed a dev post.

It was said by the devs in the last livestream that these changes will come

What if i have GS with Force/Battle and Axe/Mace with Bloodlust/Battle, because of the Fast Hands can i still stack 6 might? And if i have Force/Night(or Undead) on GS?

It’s hammer time!

I think PvP/WvW will have a ton of new builds. Personally I am looking more at Sigil of Air + Sigil of Fire for some high on-crit burst. While PvE will probably just be the standard Force+10% sigil.

Since we warriors swap on 5sec are best direct dmg builds sigils combos will be:
Max dmg:
Set1 – Air/ Blood
Set2 – Fire/ Blood
For 100% uptime of air n fire n blood (450 base dmg + heal every 2 sec)

Balanced:
Set1 – Air/ energy
Set2 – Fire/ battle
For 100% uptime of air n fire + 6 might stack (b4 boon duration) + 50% endurance every 10sec.

If set2 is hammer it will be – Fire/Impact
If set2 is Axe then – Fire/Intelligence
If set1 is GS then maybe – Air/Hydromancy

For condi there are many options, two of the better one are:
With low crit chance –
LG – Doom/ Battle
Swords – Geomancy/ hydromancy

With high crit:
LG – Doom/ Earth
Swords – Geomancy/torment

you can’t have 2 sigils on a 1 handed weapon…

5 second weapon swaps with 9 second weapon swap sigil cool downs that are no longer shared is a huge buff to warriors. You swap back to each sigil set just as they reset, hydromancy + energy, geomancy + battle etc…

we have a winner!
