Talk:Armor (rating)

How much damage reduction does armor give? --Hewus 16:36, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I just pointed to it in the article, it's in Damage. --Karlos 17:07, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for :) --Hewus 18:19, 26 Sep 2005 (EST)

Is the term "Armor Level" still used by the game at all? I think it used to, but can't find any equipment that says AL or Armor Level anymore -PanSola 08:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Bump

Move: reason & plan

 * 1) . Move "Armor level" to "Armor rating"
 * 2) . Fix all links originally to "Armor level" to go to "Armor rating"
 * 3) . Remove the usage of the abbreviation "AL", change it to "Armor" (using piped link to "Armor rating")
 * 4) . Change Damage article wording to use "Armor rating" vs "Damage rating"
 * 5) . Let a month or two to pass by, so people get used to it.
 * 6) . Exclusivify the concept of "Armor level" as something of a more generic measure, in that Warrior armor will have 20 more Armor rating compared to Monk armor of the same "level". This will simply many existing articles dealing with armor.

 * The game only uses the term "armor." Everyone uses either "armor" or "armor level/AL."  We should not make up a new term.  --68.142.14.19 13:11, 30 July 2006 (CDT)


 * I see it as "The game only uses the term 'armor.' We are currently making up the term 'armor level'.  I want to rename something from a term we made up ourselves to another term we made up ourselves."  The term "Armor level" was originally chosen to mirror the term SonOfRah used, but otherwise I don't see it as being something prevalent term at all.  I've actually encountered people confused as to why GuildWiki calls it "armor level" as opposed to something else.  - 15:40, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
 * No, we did not come up with the term. We used it because everyone in the game interested in the actual mechanics used the term when the game was early.  Either "armor" or leave it be.  --68.142.14.19 20:56, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
 * So, you will accept "Armor (rating)" as a compromise? To disambiguate it with the actual Armor. - 21:02, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes (assuming it always gets linked as armor (rating) or whatever to remove the tag). --68.142.14.19 21:05, 30 July 2006 (CDT)

Alternately, we can rename "Armor level" to "Armor (rating)" or "Armor (value)", but then it's harder to come up with a corresponding term to rename the "damage level" to. - 15:42, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
