The Windwalker Insignia, Blessed Insignia, or Survivor?

Thank god you didn't say Radiants.

Blessed and Survivor I would say have equal usefulness. Never liked Windwalker because, having only 1 set of armor, I don't want to force myself into a more specialist insignia which requires more effort and thought. If you always use 3-4 enchantments, then crack on, but for all round usefulness I'd go with Blessed or Survivor.

Blessed will shine when you take physical & elemental damage, Survivor when you suffer from Degeneration and armor-ignoring damage.

I like windwalker, have it on one of my derv's sets. Definitely a powerful insignia considering it maxes out at +20 armor for you. If you're gonna be the only frontliner or gonna be using a non avatar elite, you should definitely consider it.

Guess i'll get Windwalker since i'll probably use around 2-3 enchants most of the time. Thanks.

Yup I was going to say windwalker too Though as someone else said, blessed is good too if you've only got 1-2 enchantments at any given time, and survivor well.... moar helth is always gud ^^ I also have 1 set of forsaken for Ursan/any obscure non-enchant builds I might be inclined to play.

And Radiant...lol! I remember when I was a total derv newb and I used to have full radiants on my armor ahahahaha...more energy is not energy managament

Blessed. I'll take an almost guaranteed +10 armor over +35 health every day of the week (and twice on Sundays).

Although it's common to have 3+ enchantments up at once, the times when you don't have them up are the times that you are generally the most vulnerable (and therefore need the additional armor). I'd rather have an almost guaranteed +10 armor all the time than take the gamble of having and additional armor bonus.

I use Blessed in PvP or when I don't expect to have a lot of enchantments (but of course Dervishes usually have at least one). I do have a Windwalker set as well though.

Honestly, for most builds Blessed will be better... it's cheap, too.

A lot of people are throwing around the fact that you need 3 enchantments for windwalker to outclass the blessed insignia... however only 2 enchantments are needed for them to be equal. And seriously, how many pve dervishes run with less than 2 enchantments, especially if you run a prot monk, orders, aegis on the eles... the list goes on and on. Please go with windwalker
