What Insignia do people suggest for warriors these days? I was considering Sentinals for the +20 vs elemental. Does the 13 Str requirement for this include bonus' from the helm / rune? If not then would something simple like Brawlers or Dreadnoughts be better?

For my shield, I hear that the -5/20% isn't popular anymore either, so should I be going for +10 vs slashing? Also does the +10 vs fire ( for example ) on shield, stack with, for example, the +20 vs elemental from Sentinals on armour?

Yes I have read the sticky, no, it doesn't answer what I need.

Sentinels are quite good but it is conditional which is not very good if u get status like weakness(-1 stats). Yes, bonus from helm/runes are included. IMO, the best insignia for warrior is Survivor. The extra HP will not only help you to take more damage but also against degens (hex & status).

For the shield, I recommend the -2/stance although that really depends on your build. But usually warriors build do have IAS stance and running stance. If you wanna be more efficient, shield swapping is very recommended. Just switch to the right shield based on situation and enemies.

It tells you what you should be using (answers your first paragraph), if that counts for anything.

-5/20% is still very popular because people are too stupid to think for themselves (because of course, more expensive means better /sarcasm) and realise how crap it is. +10AL vs. <element> are best, and yes, they stack.

Vehemence, the +HP bonus from Survivor Insignias also helps with armor-ignoring damage.

Don't forget a Stonefist Insignia on your Helm, Gloves, or Boots (only one) for extra KD time.

Yeah, agreed with you. Forgot to mention the stonefist insignia which is a must!
