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)

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)
