Assassin insignia aren't too good, I concur with Survivor.
Radiant is also a possibility, only if you've got a very energy-intensive combo with no Attacker's Insight/or +5e daggers won't do the trick.

Heh.. I run radiant on my chest and pants and survivor on the rest because I run 30+ energy combos. Also carry +5e daggers incase of dp (yeah I know15^50 doesn't do much).

In PvE, Nightstalker insignia can be worth it, IMO, as there's not as much armor-ignoring damage and almost zero spikes, which are the main reasons for HP over AL. PvP, however, helth too teh maex!

I mainly run Survivor/Radiant depending on build... though I'll always have a soft spot for Nightstalker's. They'll be sure to feature on my dedicated Brawling armour set

Survivor. The stereotype of the paper sin in PvE doesn't need to be reinforced.

sorry for necro'ing this thread, (better using the search function rather than creating a new thread). My question is whether I should keep my nightstalker insignias or switch them for survivors? pros and cons if possible, TIA.

it really is all preference

in pvp though you should definatley run survivor

i perfer survivor even in pve but its really up to you

the thing about y nightstalker isn't so good is because you can't attack eveything when other go pew pew (in other words go Duke Nuke'm) + you can't always guarentee that monsters will attack you when your attacking them. Their only good when your under heavy magic attack/melee kicking your ass. And that's not mentioning Mesmers with their uber empathy and iept and some other nasty stuff which is armor ignoring. With +40hp monks can cast prot spirit and save your ass. That extra 40hp gives them 1 extra second to save u. Critical Agility also makes up for sins being so bad in the armor compartment so you don't rly need that +15AR. Remember every 40 armor deduces dmg by 50% so if you have max SS title you can use +5 AR Dagger tangs and have the same AR as a war, but slightly better because you have 40vs ele dmg which tanks don't have (w/o insignias). Does this make the decision easier for you?
