Q:
I know its probly an undisputed fact that in dungs like CoE 2/3 or Arah where there are a lot of trash mobs that are relatively easy to kill, a stacking sigil (like Bloodlust) would make more sense than using sigil of battle. But what about in cases like TA forward or CoE P1 for instance, where there are not a huge number of mobs, but still a sufficient amount?
SIgil of Battle:
assuming full rotation of skills on GS+axe/x build, you would use about 6.5sec on each set followed by the 5sec cd on wep swap. Therefore sigil of battle would trigger roughly every 18sec, since the might stacks it provides lasts 20sec, this would literally mean a constant uptime of 105 power.
Sigil of Bloodlust:
Using TA forward as an example, with a good/organized group the wurms/archers take around 5-10sec to kill. Which means you can easily get 5 stacks (50 power) in under a minute. If you were to use this sigil at all times at every fight/encounter, you could fight Leurent at exactly 20 stacks (+200 power). which would definitely put this better than battle at that point (provided you don’t get downed until then, which is not an issue for me).
So I guess my actual question is, how big of a deal is 50-100 power in terms of dmg, assuming full zerker gear/traits? The reason is because near the start of TA (or really any dung) if you chose BL instead you would be fighting with a loss of this much. What are your thoughts on which would be a better sigil in this case?

can’t you have both a stacking weaponset and a normal weaponset that younuse to fight bosses? when I’m fighting a bunch of weaker mobs I use double stacking (axe/mace with perception on bimoth) which I then swap out to my other axe/mace set which has damage% sigils.
that said I never use battle since I run with eles in most dungeons.
