Default Help me choose PvE Insignia for my New NF armor please

I do not play my warrior as often as I used to, so I must admit to being behind on the "latest and greatest" as far as whats best to use these days on warriors.

I have purchased new NF sun spear armor and need some advise on which insignia to place on it. Ive gotten him to the Dzagonur Bastion mission in NF without insignia , but I believe its time to buff him up and spend some gold on insignia.

This is a pure PvE character. I have usually run him with a sword build and have not changed to often from a few basic builds. Since he always has 13 att points in strength I am thinking of Sentinel's Insignia on the chest and legs at least, but that can change.

I would appreciate any advise as to which insignia more experienced PvE warriors suggest I use.

Thanks for any help with this

+Health is the generally the best choice for most situations.

Default like everything else

it depends. Using the survivor +health bonus is a good idea for general usage, as the extra health always comes in handy. At the same time, during medium to longer fights you will be better off using something that gives you a bonus to your armor.

If you use the typical Enraging Charge+Flail, I would go with Sentry's as you will most always be in a stance. Otherwise the Brawler's might not be a bad idea.

This extra 10 armor roughly reduces overall damage by 12.5% (not counting armor ignoring damage or degen).

if you can afford sentinel's, go ahead. but it is risky unless ur positive you will ALWAYS have 13 str. if ur constantly in a stance, go sentry's. otherwise, definitely survivor.

It depends on playing style, but I'd say radiant (+energy), especially since you have 13 strength. Power Attack almost starts getting worthwhile on 13 strength.

I prefer +energy also, if you use many energy-dependant skills then it would probably be the best thing to get.
