Guild Wars 2

Do any of my fellow warriors use this sigil? Whats your experience with it? It seems pretty good to me except for the price tag. 60% chance to transfer a condition to your foe. 10 sec cooldown.

Can’t transfer what conditions I don’t have.

Cleansing ire is to good.

Cleansing Ire wont cleanse all conditions. Generosity Sigils are definitely viable if you want to fork over the gold.

If you have crit chance enough I’d say sure.

i just don’t feel it unless you babysit it, also it procs even if you have no conditions

Thats the main problem imo. You start fighting, it procs with not conditions, goes on cooldown for 10s without doing anything at all.

If it wont proc unless you have conditions on you, it would be worth a try.

That’s true, never thought of that cause I never used them.

Wrong, you are mistaken sigil of Generosity with sigil of Purity, Purity does occure on crit even if you don’t have a condition on you while Generosity needs an actual condition on you to be able to transfer it on an ennemy on crit, if you don’t it doesn’t trigger its ICD. That’s why Generosity is much better compared to Purity because you actualy have better control over the condition transfer.

I used that sigil on my Turret Engineer for a while (well until my turrets didn’t dealt any condition damage) and I always removed 1 condition almost instantly when it got applied on my character and I dealt critical damage.

@Ambrecombe: Thanks for that info. Do you know how it works for stacks of conditions? E.g. I have 5 stacks of bleed on me. Does all 5 stacks get converted from me to the enemy or just one?

All 5.

Yup, I can confirm this information, it transfers the whole intensity of a condition with its remaining duration on the target by taking in priority the first condition that was applied on you. (It also takes advantage from your condition damage bonus)

So , for instance, if a Warrior starts with a rifle Brutal Shot followed by a couple of Bleeding Shots, you will transfer the vulnerability instead of the bleeding effect because the vulnerability is on top of your condition list.

Yep and if you have 10 stacks of bleed, weakness, poison, cripple and chill on you the chances are quite good to not transfer the bleeds, but another condition instead.
For me the pure randomness of what condition gets removed (You have little to none influence over it) makes the Sigil not only bad in terms of price/value but also bad in terms of general viability.
It will also stop “on weapon swap sigils” from working while it is on cd, so no extra stamina, chill etc.
