Brawler's Insignia gives Armor +10 (while attacking). Since it doesn't specify, I'm assuming it for ALL types of damage, right?

Dreadnought Insignia gives Armor +10 (vs. elemental damage).

My questions:
1. Since a Warrior is supposed to be attacking all the time, what benefit would the Dreadnought provide above and beyond Brawler's?

2. Is my understanding correct that the Armor +10 bonus is applicable ONLY on the piece it's attached to?

Thanks!

Yup - Brawler's is +10AL vs everything. The only real advantage Dreadnought's has is that it'll protect you from fireballs and the like when you're chasing down a foe. Not really enough of an advantage to take it over Brawler's IMO. And yes - the bonus only applies to that piece you attached the insignia to.

That said, +10 armor is sort of not worth it compared to +health or +energy insignias.
