Sigil of Bursting Over Sigil of Earth [2020 Condition Berserker]

[Heisen.2315]

Since the November 13, 2018 patch this is now a flat increase of outgoing condition damage instead of increasing your Condition Damage attribute.

If your condition damage output per second is 10 000 then 5% of that would be equal to 500 additional damage per second, which is far more than 3 stacks of bleed, correct?

To clarify, there are several other posts about this but prior to the update 2018.

Depends on several factors. If you have 100% crit chance and +100% bleed duration the Earth sigil is 6 stacks of bleed on it's own. For those 6 stacks to be a 5% condition damage increase you would have to have 120 stacks of bleed, at least stack wise. From a raw condi damage view those 6 stacks are something like 200 dmg per stack, rounding of course. So for them to be a 5% increase your condi dps prior to the sigil would have to be 24k just from condi ticks.

Generally speaking Bursting is better.

Where the sigil is handy is if you need cover condis and don't already have bleed, or limited access to it.
