Talk:Ranger armor

I suggest that the first two tables be removed and merged into the last table (currently labled Ranger Armour Art).

New names for factions
The Canthan ascended versions (at least) of Drakescale and Studded Leather are now called "Pyrebound" and "Stormbound", as sold by Koumei. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 10:17, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, they are noted as PvE variants. -PanSola 10:19, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Noted where? &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 10:19, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * In Ranger armor, they are listed as the PvE variatns of Drakescale and Studded Leater respectively. Within Drakescale Armor and Studded Leather Armor, they are noted under the Description, under the Variations subsection.  And in fact, the new names is for the entier Factions, not just for ascended version. -PanSola 10:27, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, thanks. Sorry, missed it while reading it in a hurry from work earlier. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 16:15, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

Armor stats by piece
Wasn't there at one time a table that gave the stats per piece? I realize that such an article must be worded carefully now that a single art style can carry any stat, but it would still be useful information. I've been trying different armor links and can't find it - was that data deleted? --161.88.255.140 16:44, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It was teh PvP armor article. It was so outdated it got deleted.  Stats on the individual piece should be available under the functional set article anyways.  If it's not, stub it. - 16:56, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Is there a standard format that should be used? From what I can see, few of the Ranger functional articles have the data by piece, and of those that do have it the format seems to vary slightly from article to article. --161.88.255.140 17:00, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Um not really. Try some of the Mesmer or Assassin articles to get a feel of how things can look like, and use what you think works best and looks nicest.  Generally a table works well, and if a modifier is there for all pieces of the set, use "colspan=x" to have the cell span multiple columns. - 17:12, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

Referring to the ranger armor insignia that states "(while using a preperation)", now does that mean as long as you have a preperation on you or while you are activating the preperation?
