Default suggested insignias for pvp and pve?

hi, just so i dont waste money buying wrong insignias for my armor, i was wondering what insignias would be best suggested for necros (especially minion masters) who'd like to pve? and then for those who enjoy pvp?

thanks

Survivor, or radiant - since it's PvE - although soul reaping should be enough energy.

And one bloodstained.

In PvP I'd run full health, but if your "PvP" is just stuff like AB / Fort Aspenwood then run whatever you like.

I go with tormenters. I have never run out of energy (12 soulreaping ftw) and im fair proficient with self healing (or good monks w/e). But im never in need of anything else, so i thought I migt as well go for more armor

Tormentor's is broken. Prophecies and factions sets do not give any bonus.

Full survivor and one bloodstained, as ZenRgy recommends.

you're going to need 2 sets of boots for bloodstained. Survivor is pretty much standard for every caster these days though--unless you can get guaranteed armor, in which case you can think about it a little bit before getting +health.

How is it broken? The armor increase isn't being applied? You don't want increased health on a MM.

EDIT: I found the article on Wiki, and I vaguely remember it being discussed. I'd still recommend Radiant over Survivor for a MM.

But you want increased health for everything else.

Sadly, I can confirm the issue on 15k Necrotic armor (grotto) also. Oh they soooooo need to fix this asap. My favorite armor suit just went into storage.

All this talk made me forget MM insignias also. Better than Necrotic at 5 minions.

I don't see a reason to ever run Radiant Insignia on a necro, especially a MM considering the insane amount of energy you'll be obtaining from soul reaping.

I regret making my FoW +energy.
