+30 Health or +5 AL? - Guild Wars Forums

From a PvP standpoint (not including FA or CMs) which is better as the grip for a martial weapon for:

1) Midline
2) Backline

Thanks

Both

+5 is better in most cases, but if you are playing against a spike with a large amount of armor ignoring damage, or are heavily DP'd, +30 helps more.

I would suggest to start with AR+5 to relieve pressure from monks, and keep an HP+30 set in your inventory, just in case..

+armor.

Even against spikes +armor is often better:
1. Only when a big part of the damage is armor ignoring +health will be better.
2. With +armor you'll not lose less health outside of a spike, increasing your chances to survive a spike.
