So does the global dmg reduction still apply to armor? - Guild Wars Forums

If I wear one piece of knight's armor, will I still get global dmg reduction? ALso, is this meant to be this way or is this a glitch?

Hasn't changed to my knowledge, one piece is all you need (boots?)

Crush Ur Brains Out · May 05, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

boots or gloves is a good idea...

I'm hearing Cantha actually has no global armor (true?)
[keeping energy and hp out of it anyways]

Supposedly there is a juicy thread I need to locate...

How could the +armor while attacking/casting NOT be global. It's not like you attack with your feet.

Those bonus's only apply to that section of armor. When you cast a spell (for example) all your pieces of armor that have +10al while casting get the 10al, its not a global bonus.

The absorbtion from knights is still global, to the best of my knowledge.

Knights is still global, and as far as I know, its not a glitch. (They would have fixed a glitch they knew about for a year)

As far as I know the one piece of Knights is still working ok.
Now the While Casting Bonus, I had thought that this WAS Global. Please respond if you know for sure. I had thought this was brought up in another thread. I will search for it.

the existing droks knights/ascalon armor is still global. i have personally tested it since the factions update. i haven't tested the new stuff you get though as I haven't bothered to play my warrior up in cantha to where i want to get the new armor.

I have also personally tested the new assassins armor with the stuff like "+armor vs blunt" and that IS NOT global. it will only give you that +armor if the hit was to that specific piece (guildy wanted to know so we went and tested it). on a side note, i LOVE 1v1 and candy cane weapons. makes testing this stuff 500x easier.
