Intel is better than both of them. You never wanna run with hammer out all the time. You should be using fast hands and swapping every 5 seconds so you don’t use hammer auto attacks. Intel will give you either a 4-5k back break or ES every time you swap it. Impact is only good when they’re disabled which is only 30% of the time you hit them. Fire is okay but the procs reset other sigils that you may have if they are active sigils.
May be true in WvW where you can see some outrageous numbers, in tPvP you don’t get anything to crazy with hammer. Factor in blinds and you may end up missing that +100 crit attack.
Sigil of Fire is the most consistent damage output sigil for when it comes to PvP.
Agreed. If you sheath correctly you will always have it though
and if you’re blinded you simply have to swing once, but be careful not to be near a target or it will disappear. only in mid air.
Today i had a moment where for the first time i actually got annoyed by a thief
There was this thief who did nothing but heartseeker through blind field to gain infinite stealth and was following me around like this while i was roaming, and whenever i found another enemy player to attack this thief would pop out of stealth finally and make a 2v1.
This is the first time i used a stealth trap.
HS blind circle thieves are my fav. You will note that they rely on bleeding you out in long term fights. They usually run glass for this reason. They don’t do a ton of damage if you have 3.2k armor like me. When you see them HS out of the field, Put your Earthshaker or even start bull’s charging as soon as you see them do the leap. It will interrupt them and they’ll be stunned for atleast 2 sec. Just keep chaining cc’s that way and there’s nothing they can do. I also saw a guildie of mine (Bit Cloud-he streams a lot) stand inside the AOE smoke. It prevents them from stacking stealth this way but blinds you a lot. It can still be used tactically if you got someone else to clip him while you stand there.
