Full Sigil Build, is this functional?

superalfgorn

Ok so, since I do more theorycrafting than playing these days I put together a all-dps-sigils build.

However, I'm not sure if this works as I expect:
1) Is Mystic transference needed on all sigils you want to use concurrently?
2) Does it make sense on Living Fire and SoAR?
3) The commander specs increasing dmg and base dmg and AoED work on sigils?

Also the build is really tight on advantage point and power slots.

The MT adv will be needed on all sigils but one if you want them all summoned at once, and the one w/o it will summon all 5 (but have a longer cd and cast time). For sustained dps, that prob means you want the Destruction sigils (or Elec's Storm sigils) w/o MT and the rest w/ MT, but its up to you what to prioritize. Sigils will get aura bonuses like pets, but can't crit either (so no AoED lightning procs from them), and iirc most of the Commander options don't affect them (though Rapid Response does speed up their cast time). Also, ofc, sigils can die to AoE and are immobile, so they won't be very good in some types of fights/content.

You still prob want a good filler attack even for a sigil build if you want to dps, but its up to you what your goals are for the build. Your current build prob won't be as high dps due to all the factors I mentioned, but can still contribute to dmg and supporting the team in a basic sense. I'm also unsure how your energy will fare, but you can test that out and maybe add MSA or something.

So neither the Commander Mastery nor Savage will work ?

And yeah I ideally want to go mostly as a damage support at Lvl.40, so switching to support role and the DPS aspect is not so important.

Last I checked, it didn't seem like Savage or the Mastery were working, but you can always test it in the PH for yourself. Regardless, if you want to do more dps, you may want to consider a higher base dps attack in there for yourself, but you'd have to find room for it. Destruction and Storm sigils offer the best sustained dps of the options, while Arcane and Fire ones are for laying traps and burst. The others don't deal dps but offer support/utility benefits; it'll be up to you what combo of sigils you keep.

Last I tried only the first point in Rapid Response affected Sigils. That was about two years ago though so it might have changed. But it's still something you probably want to doublecheck.

Yeah at this point the Commander tree loses all its charm. I will rework the concept completely.

It was for an Aztec jaguar god using fire and light... the sigils fitted decently, but I can easily switch.

Thanks though!
