Sigil of Water Changes

[Omnicron.2467]

So I need to crit to get this effect now, with Harrier gear I got like 0 bonus crit chance lol. Wonder if there is something else I should go for now on my druid? Will probably still crit enough i suppose, but I do not understadn this change tbh

I wasn't aware anybody even used this one :x

 

Depending on situation it might not change that much though. With Banner and Spotter you have like 25% or something?

It is meta for druid

It's also used by Mercy Scourges.

 

Regardless, that's what happens when there's a major overhaul: stuff that was useful before becomes less helpful, while some stuff that used to be useless will dominate. A lot of the changes are reducing total impact, so it might turn out that there's several other things that are better suited now. That said, I don't see any obvious candidates to replace Water sigils. (on the other hand, the community is clever; someone will find something)

[Astralporing.1957]

I just don't understand the reasoning behind that. They wanted to remove randomness from the effects, while obviously counting on the healers having crit chance from fury, banner and spotter only (so, basically the same if fully buffed, zero if not). If anythingm it made the end result even more random and unpredictable than before which runs contrary to the whole idea behind the rework.

On the other hand the magi just shrugs.

[Dark.1823]

I play a hybrid on my Druid. I always ran Magi so this change won't affect me. I never really liked Harrier's. The change to the Sigil is contrary to what they said though. They should've left it untouched. AFAIK only Druids use Sigil of Water so in a way, they made this Sigil even worse now.

Many meta builds will likely change within the next few weeks.

Considering how broken some new rune effects are alleged to be, I wouldn't sink too much $$ into re-gearing for a few weeks, lest ye be struck forthwith by the bat of nerf.

Did you notice what the sigil of water is the only one in the list of "Chance on hit" changed for "Chance on Critical Hit"

Nullification, Purity, Frailty, Ice were converted to "with a flanking strike". Why sigil of water wasn't converted to:

Heal nearby allies around your target (360 radius) with a flanking strike. (Cooldown: 5 Seconds)

As healer we are always behind the boss...
