Vitality
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Vitality is a defensive attribute. Each attribute point put into vitality increases the maximum health of the character by ten hitpoints. More health allows a character to better withstand burst damage and degenerative damage. At level 1 all characters have a base Vitality of 37, and at level 80 a base Vitality equal to 1000 (not counting Vitality bonuses from equipment or traits).
