Mystyx: new and improved Sigil Spamming

After a short break from the game I return to find that Sorcery has been overhauled... and with that I decided to take a look at my Sorcery builds to see what I can do to improve them... and of course that includes my petite little sigil spammer Mystyx...

Ok... so here's where I'm stuck... I've got 3 empty power slots, what goes in those slots might depend a lot on which Form & EU I take... If I take Conjuring or Spellcaster then I will need to load those 3 slots with Curses & Enchantments to proc them with... however, she probably won't have much chance to use said powers while maintaining her sigils... Additionally she's missing a solid self-healing skill, although Radiant Sigils and Inner Peace will probably do more than enough for keeping her alive... Also... I only have 4 Advantage points left which will probably go to ranking up her circle...

I also still have no idea what her specs should be... and with the new Sorcery changes, I'm curious as to if they updated sigils to benefit from the Commander spec tree or if they still only benefit from Rapid Response...

Note: Inner Peace is on Living Flame since for some reason MT is a 2pt advantage on that power, so since I can't have i deal the same damage as Arcane Runes I've got it triggering a HoT...

Testing sigils now, and it doesn't seem like most of Commander spec still benefits them generally, though the faster cast time is still pretty nice. Guess it'll depend on how often ur gonna be spending casting or re-casting the sigils vs. doing other things. Sigils can't crit, so maybe instead get specs that debuff w/ attacks that hold/CC to proc the debuffs. That, or optimize Offense instead of crit/severity.

Living Fire's MT being 2 adv looks like a bug. Also, it may be worth noting that re-casts of CoRG come w/ a small AoE heal. MSA is the easiest EU to fit here, regardless. I'd give more advice, but there's many ways a sigil build could go now w/ the increased options.

With her current stats... she's already brought all her sigils down to their minimum cast time (1.26s & 0.79s w/MT)... and her MT sigils are on a 5.1s CD... and MT no longer cuts the duration of sigils in half... I've got a good 20 seconds where I'm only recasting my Arcane & Fire Sigils every 5s... which leaves me ~3.5s between that I could use another power... As for Commander... that's a shame they still don't benefit from the spec, the solid cast time reduction from it makes setting up at the start of a fight much so much smoother... but it feels like a waste of a spec to take commander only for Rapid Response and get no other benefits from the spec...
