Hey, I got my ritualist 15k imperial halcyons (energy bonus) armor. At the time i liked the look a lot, and the cost of amber was daunting, now with cheap amber, I want the kurzick armor as well, but what armor function should I grab on it?

I only use Halycon's, its the most versatile. Of course, depending on you build, you should use different pieces, but Halycon's works for ANYTHING.

I use the health bonus, it's also pretty handy.

I want something that I am going to use enough to warrant a nice new set of armor, i never really went for health boosts on armor, are they that good?

Personally, I went for the aesthetic look. I have Halycon's 15k Kurzick on my storage char (holding the old armor), while my usual char has Ancient armor. Had to go for the mummy thing.

Or you can grab NF armor and play around with w/e you want.

I've always historically used the +15 armour (while affected by a Weapon Spell). Most of my sets and switches have this.
With my NF armour however, I've now gone for a health/energy split for a change. It's nice to be able to mix and match as you please. I might go back to +15 (WS) though...

I'm thinking its between the health bonus and the armor while holding an item. Money isnt a problem, I have about 120k atm.

If you go for the ancient armor, you can mix it up using runes and insignias. I'm currently using my halcyon Kurzick armor for spirit spamming, and using my ancient armor for everything else. For any +armor against whatever pieces, you only really need the chest piece, since all elemental attacks hit the chest, and most physical attacks hit the chest as well.
