armor stats description - Guild Wars Forums

can someone help me understand a couple things about armor stats? i am comparing 2 different armor types and one is +20 against physical attacks and the other one says +10 against physical attacks but also says 'reduces damage from attacks'. that just sounds like, to me, it should just say +20 instead of +10. anyone really know what that means?

also, what does AL stand for, with armor?

AL stands for Armor Location.

The guide linked below will explain it in more detail then I could ever hope to. Basically, from what I'm to understand the +20 against physical attacks means you are protected against being hit while the other attribute has to do with the amount of damage that you take once you are actually hit. Believe me it's a lot more in-depth then that so take the time to read the guide if you can as it's very informative on the subject.

I assumed that AL = armor level, or the equivalent of "AC" which means "armor class". AL is represented as a number. When making a PVP warrior, most of the armors are AL 80. How could that be "location"?

Sorry, I meant Armor Level but put Location as it was in my mind from reading the guide while coping the link. My mistake. Thanks for the correction.
