Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I like to play my mesmer as a supporter and since I can now use a second Sigil in my staff, I bought a Superior Sigil of Water.
While testing I noticed that it doesn’t work on my party member, who was getting hit by dolyaks to help me figure out, which sigill I should use.
Then we realized, that it does work, when I’m close to him.

So it’s working like Superior Sigil of Renewal instead of “Heal nearby allies around your target”.

Or my staff is broken.

Also the Sigil of Benevolence should get another description, for it is not doing anything to my selfheal, my reg, my reg on a party member and the healing I get while using something like Sigil of Water – but the Sigil of Life does all that..

I can confirm the issue with Sigil of Water. It is always centered on yourself. The problem with it is that it sorta needs to do both. Additionally it has been mentioned in another post that the ICD on the Superior version is STILL at 10s instead of 5s which makes it inferior to Sigil of Renewal in most cases.

Sigil of Benevolence seems to be working as expected. Sigil of Benevolence isn’t supposed to work with any healing applied to yourself. That part is in the description. It is also the trade off for using it. It is always better than Sigil of Life for healing other people but it doesn’t benefit yourself, thus the name.

This is in Cursed Shore at Caer Shadowfain for Soothing Mist, Water Blast, Regeneration and Sigil of Water with 390 Healing Power and 2% from Medic

Sigil of Water also heals for 487 some of the time, not sure what is going on there

Sigil of Benevolence seems to be overriding the Medic buff instead of stacking with it.

And I thought I was just having bad luck with that 30% Chance. xD

Wow, I’m sorry for that one. Since I’m actually a german player I only read the tooltip in German. In English it really does state to “other” allies. My bad, I’ll take this to the other forum then.
