Cold Armour vs Hp passive

Hi, I have cold lvl30 and Heuskal lvl30 these are both sub masteries to my fire/light/bicheon 43. What would be more better for a Nuker. At lvl60 the hp passive provides 1078 extra hp and the cold provides +84 more psy defense. I am a 90% magical balance hybrid.

Which do you think is better Cold/Heuskal?

Both ;p Get cold up to 60 for the big boost (and also for a couple points into freezy skill because they're fun) and any leftover mastery points into the hueksal passive.

I had to make this choice some weeks ago, and I chose Heuksal.
Cold buff allows you to tank more physical damages. Heuksal = more hp, allows you to tank more of both magical and physical damages.
IMO the cold buff is worth using only if you plan to use garment in the long run.

Thanks for the replies, i only really want to pvp against str players. This is because int v int is one hit kills most of the time. I thought of going garment a while ago but im now armour as i fight psy mobs and pvp with strs.

I guess ill go cold because it allows me to get the ice nuke book2, and as vintar says, the cold armour will be help me more against a str than the hp passive. Is this correct?

One ques... what if I'm a pure str blader? Cold buff is better or learn heuksal? Although pure str is already a natural high hp character but...every bits help right?

Cold buff.

@Apache: Go with Heuksal, not Cold. It doesn't matter who you WANT to PvP against, you will end up fighting anyone.

Ok. I understand that the hp passive would help me in int vs int as i will probally be able to withstand 1nuke. But, i want to know, i an int hybrid vs pure str situaton what would help the int last longer. 1078hp more or +84 more psy defense

Erm?

You said you were a 90% hybrid nuker. Then this choice should be easy, ur a hybrid, meaning weapon skills are usefull for you as a 90% int. Sure main damage will still be coming from nukes, but a nice soul spear to back it up definitely works for you. Take the heuksal tree, and with that the HP passive.

@Apache : what I wanted to say is that cold only helps for physical damages. Having more hp helps in all situations. IMO Heuksal passive is way better.
