Default Average monk insignia

Hi All

I just bought a EOTN faction armour for alot of money, and wonder what insignas to put in it. I have a 55hp set since old.

So my question is, what is the average? How would you put? Energy in everything? Hp in everything? Mix it? ... I mean I dont want to mess the entire set up since it was alot of hard worked money.

I play healer sometime, prot sometime. Almost purly in PvE, but if I do PvP people say I need 600hp+, should I put hp in all parts just to be sure? Or will people whine when I do PvE with the set?

Thanks in advance.

Survivor Insignias ftw. The monk insignias are crap, and you should have enough energy by way of weapon swapping and careful skill selection. If not, then go ahead with Radiants.

I have three minor runes in Divine Favor and Healing/Proto prayers cuz I hybrid. If you only do one or the other, then get two headsets. One with the Proto rune and one with the Healing.

I have a Superior Vigor Rune on my monk, cuz I spoil him. ^_^

If and when you have empty spaces, I'd suggest filling them with +hp runes. Vigor or Vitae. You never know when that 1 point of health you have left will save your life lol. (too much AB on my part >__>)

Because of the big investments in health, energy management is pivotal.

I agree, I never had problems with mana when I play, because I know how to play. But dont want people calling me a idiot when I put all in survivor, =)..

I also hybrid, or atleast I will do from today most of the time.

You said you use 3 minor devine favor? I didnt think runes stacked? Or you mean divine favour head gear? Can you please more detailed.

I am atm runnign healing head pieace with keph staff for hybdrid.

What is your attribute points without and with runes atm?

Thank you for answer.

Full survivors, sup vigor, 3 minors and a vitae is the correct answer for both PvE and PvP.

I've liked running full survivor or full survivor with a +15 vs cond chest piece. Conditions are so very common in Pve and Pvp

that settels it.. Survivors it is..

Now, I now my next question regarding insigna in this thread is a little sensitive. .. its about Ursan Blessing.. Onoooess.. anyway, if you can handle it, here is the thoughts/questions.

If I go all survivors it still would make a viable Ursan build in PvE when doing H/H or helping someone with the Tyria Missions I guess.

I am currently Mo/E but can ofcourse change to Mo/W in a jiffy. But since the damage of the sword does not have any effect on the ursan skills it does not matter, just recommend to have zeoulos on it I guess. And warrior secondary let u get 9 in tactics for a armour boost with shield. ..

If I on the other hand would go ALL energy on the armour that would make the ursan last a little longer, right? If the ursan ends, I can always heal. =)

Comments on thoughts?, dont know if its a question but I would like comments on my thoughts, and please spare me the ... RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO Ursan, dammit its for other classes, whine whine.. Im talking about using it when helping people, instead of just running around healing. =)

I don't know how an Ursan monk would be more useful than a hybrid monk.

Anywho, what I meant about three minor runes is that I have one for each attribute line that I use. one for DF, one for Proto, one for Healing.

For Ursan, keep a -5e energy set and a dual +15/-1 energy set handy.

If you're running low on energy and need to stay in Ursan form, you can keep switching up to your higher energy sets like wand/offhand or martial/offhand or staff and finally to your +15/-1 energy set.

When using Totem of Man, swap to your -5e set. That way, you can swap to your higher energy sets if you need to cast spells right away. And your energy will take less time to regen to max.

No need for radiant insignias.
