sentinel armor is 100 defense

rangers have 70+ 30 elemental

if we both get hit by a lighting spell, do we take the same damage?

If you're not using a shield, yes. A shield will add 16 to your Armor if you're using one. You can increase that further with shield / armor combos, a few examples of which follow:

+5 armor weapon mod
+7 elemental damage weapon mod
Shield with up to +10 armor vs. lightning (or other specific element) mod
Studded leather armor (for Rangers)
