Default Blessed or Survivor?

I'm having trouble deciding which insignia is better. I always have an enchantment on, so it all boils down to whether I want +10 armor or +15/10/5 health.

What should I do?

Armor is always <3 if you're playing PvP I'd go with the +10 Fire Insignia on Chest/Legs. In PvE though blessed is fine. It's up to you if you want to go full blessed or just put it on chest/legs.

It depends on which enchantment you are using. If its something like aura of restoration, take blessed. Anything with a high recharge time is vulnerable to strips, but if you are confident you will always have an enchantment, full blessed is better.

I use aura of restoration and fire attunement, so i always have an enchantment on. Thanks for the advice!

I always go for more armor. If you're playing HM for example, that extra +HP is a joke. You won't even notice it's there, where as +Armor gives you the benefit from "most" damage taken.

high health over high armor, high health makes you less of a priority target in pve, + armor can be capped with a single skill. also non-conditional over conditional.

Blessed hands down.

Also what another guy says about armor being capped is wrong. The +armor from insignias are always factored in.

If you're playing some HM area with lots of spike dmg I guess you would want to run survivor.
