Armor contribution - Guild Wars Forums

The name is very vague, so let me further explain.

A friend and I were talking to other day about armor, and what it does. What it came down to, we have no idea. We just got for the highest numbers our class can attain (70 and 60, respectively). Then there are also the runes which increase your armor further.

I guess what I'm really wondering is if anyone knows the armor:damage reduced ratio? "10 points of armor reduces damage by X amount" is kind of what I'm hoping for.

If there's a topic on this, I apologize. I searched and could not find one.

That explains how armor ratings work and how it decreases the damage you take.

Also, I would highly recommend removing your email address from being visible - that is never safe.

60 Armor Rating is the base number that damage is calculated by.
For every 40 AR over 60, damage is halved. Likewise, every 40 under 60 causes damage to be doubled.

Not all Runes or Insignias increase your armor. Check the wiki or the [Rune] trader to see what effects they have. You should be using some sort of Runes/Insignias if you want max buffs.
