Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
Just wondering does armour defend against melee and magic or is it for melee protection only ?

Armor reduces incoming damage by a set amount (I believe it’s directly subtracted). Both magic and melee fall into this category. What ignores armor are conditions, which goes right for your Health, and any skill/spell that directly states this.

I imagine it defends against both, seeing as I have seen very little making obvious mention towards spell defenses.

Yeah guess so. Then it’s basically a second layer of vitality heh

Yup that makes perfect sense. Cheers guys
