Semantics: Basic vs Standard
Does anyone mind if I switch the usage of "Basic" and "Standard" in "Basics" section and "Armor Sets" section?

"Standard" to me implies something fairly common across the board, so I feel like for Armor Sets, describing this armor as having standard bonuses and that armor has blah blah mods on top of the standard. Currently the article use the word Basic there.

In the "Basics" article, the plain armor set was described, and since it is comparatively without benefits, it feels more natural to call that armor the Basic armor. Currently the article use the word Standard there.

Rather coincedental that they are "flipped"... Just minor semantical stuff that bugs me. Mind if I swap them around? -PanSola 00:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

The "15k" in armor names should be in parenthesis
The "15k" isn't part of the real name of the armor. It's a nick name to distinguish them from the non-15k armors. Thus I suggest to rename articles such as "Enchanter's Armor 15k" to "Enchanter's Armor (15k)".

Global vs. Local
This is 60.240.230.90, moved from the article page:

check the guid wars web site armor faq and it says that absorption isnt gobally its locational so that a hit to the body won't reduce if your just wearing the boots http://manual.guildwars.com/combat/weapons-and-armor/weapon-armor-faq.html

 * SonOfRah's tests say they were global despite what the official saying is. Now that could've been "fixed" in one of the recent updates.  But unless anyone run tests recently and proved it's local, I vote to stay with SonOfRah's old test results and ignore wht the official website says. -PanSola 02:40, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Both runes and knight's/Ascalon are global. I have tested.  In addition, knight's/Ascalon reduces damage from all sources while runes only seem to protect from attacks (both say "reduces damage from attacks").  --Fyren 14:08, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
