Armor question

While reading up on differnt builds and setups, I have seen where certain armour sets are called out, Glad for warriors, Scar for a necro, ect. This was because Glad armour gave an energy bonus. Is this still true or is the bonus taken care of by Insignia now? Other than the occasional mention in builds I have not been able to find anything that details what these bonuses are...leading me to believe that something changed.

Old guides that were not updated. When armor didn't have insignias, those specific armors were required for the mods they had on them. Any armor will work now, as long as you use the insignia that they were using for the one in the guide (Radiant for Gladiator for example).

ahhh..... I had wondered if that was the case, but i'm fairly new to GW so wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.

Also, if you're looking at builds that old (probably two years now), they most likely suck beyond all belief. You might want to check more up-to-date threads on Guru before putting time and money into a crap outdated build.

EDIT: Wtf just happened to my sig?
