Weapon with +Armor enhancement - Guild Wars Forums

I got a gold sword drop (not that any of my chars use swords, naturally) which has +5 Armor.

I was curious as to how this works. Is it like a shield, which protects from frontal attack? Is is location-based, increasing, say, chest or hand armor?

The armor provided by weapons is universal, from what I've experienced.

free fall.

By Universal this means it applies to each piece of armor at any time. You get hit @ your chest piece the +5 armor is applied. Hit in the arm, +5 armor applies. etc etc and so on and so on.

Pretty kewl eh? That is why the debate still stands:: +30hp weapon mod VS. +5 armor weapon mod :: which is better in the long run? Not definite yet.

enjoy!
