probably,best insignia is radius.but,if you select without radius,which do you select health up or armor level up?

GvG? Health.

You cannot lose armour when you DP'ed. But boy, you sure lose health!!

Also, there's a bunch of armour ignoring damage in GvG: Obsidian flame spike, necro spike, degen etc.

Health. Helps you from spikes. People aren't going to pressure a Warrior if there are better characters to pressure (i.e. you're not stupid and not overextended).

Thanks in advices

Health up,its a wise choice.
But,Possibly sentinel insignia is enough good.Certainly,against caster spike builds,health up is better choice.many build have domi-Me,blood-N,Obs-E,,,

because against balanced spike build,weapon with elemental mod(Ice breaker,IDS,,,) is a popular choice when warrior spike warrior.

....but health have better than armor.your advice is true.Standard ftw

i know this thread is about GvG, but ive been wonderin, so i thought i can just ask here: in general, is a health upgrade for ur armor better than an armor upgrade? and i mean not only GvG, but also PvE. is it always better to have more health than armor?

i got an ele with new armor and i wanted to make me bit less squishie (my armor is 60). now i was wonderin if i should better add the Survivor or sumthin like Stalwart insignia to it. what keeps u longer alive? havin more health, so u can get hit an extra time before dying? or havin extra armor, which reduces the dmg u receive (at least i think thats what armor does)? can anyone gimme advice bout this?

The problem with going for high armor is that a lot of damage is armor-ignoring. Degen, attack skills, mesmer skills, and life stealing all bypass armor. This is why having higher health is usually a safer bet than high armor.

right .. okay, so i guess the same rules count for both gvg and pve? in that case i guess ill just go for the health idd

tnx

Yup, Vampiric > Sundering.

And for a Warrior, Superior rune and Minor rune is fine. Major...never tried that. Although it's a bit risky for your health.

Well, this is clearly a matter of build I say. If you are heavy on one attribute, go with a sup. If you got several lines, I would go with two majors, wich are about the same health penalty as the sup rune. But that should be the lowest you get your health. Everything below ~450 is getting too weak IMO

EDIT: just realized this is the warrior forum

Then a sup weapon is the way to go

Two majors are more along the lines of a mesmer

Superior runes are now a fairly big liability due to no armor switching. I'd prefer going a Minor, but for some who can't get used to it, then a Sup weapon is fine.
