Guild Wars 2

Currently I am using Rage on my Axe, Paralyzation on my Shield and Force on my Greatsword

But have never really thought about Sigils much until now.

I have been seeing alot of people saying Air/Fire on GS, with bloodlust (or another stack based sigil), Force or another non-CD based sigil (so it is not affected by Rage/Air/Fire)

But there are plenty of great sigils for warriors…..but the vagueness of the CDs and the lack of information given on shared CDs on certain sigil families (like weapon-swap, etc.)

Based on a different site I was looking at: http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/sigils-heightened-focus-berserkers-power/

“Rules:
If you use Sigil of Rage, your remaining sigils should be Force and Bloodlust.
A stacking sigil should never be combined with another stacking sigil.
An on-swap sigil should never be combined on the same weapon set as an on-proc sigil.
An on-proc sigil should never be combined on the same weapon set as an on-proc sigil.
An on swap sigil should never be combined on the same weapon set as an on-swap sigil (the one proccing is randomized). Leeching can miss.

Example combinations:
Fire / Blood + Bloodlust
Air / Force + Bloodlust
Force / Rage + Bloodlust
Blood / Energy + Bloodlust
Nullification / Bloodlust + Blood
Force + Fire / Force + Blood
Force + Water / Bloodlust + Water
etc… Many combinations are usable."

But this was posted in Sept, and some things have changed a little bit.

Is there a sigil set for weapon sets so far with warrior? Like “If you use GS / Sword+Axe you should use…” type of thing?

do you feel that paralization sigil helps?
as the longest stun is 2 sec (F1 burst skill) and the regular stun is 1 sec.
so adding 0.15 sec to the stun, is it noticeable?

One thing is that fire and rage definitely do not trigger each other’s cooldowns.

They in fact do, if you would like to test it yourself just use the Heart of the Mists, activate the Sigil of Rage, then swap to a weapon with Air/Fire

be careful using the word definitely, unless you are positive, you should not speak in absolutes

You will notice you will not get an air/Fire proc for 45 seconds (Rage CD)

Hmm.. The last time I tested this, they did not seem to interfere with one another, but testing now supports them doing so. Likely I was insufficiently careful when testing previously. My mistake.

They like to stealth update things and give players minimal information on these types of mechanics….frustrating

but that still brings me back to my first question in the OP

Also, on a similar topic, would it be worth the 5-6 extra gold to run Sup sigil of fire over the major variant (only 2s) with a 10% decrease in chance
