Armor in WvW
Honestly, my threshpoint is roughly 3300. But I know someone else will have the diminishing returns number that once you hit a certain defense number, increasing it is not worth it at all. I sit around 3350 and do great.
2127 is the base armor of heavy armor classes (Warrior/Guardian). If you double that armor (4254) you will get 50% damage reduction. You would need to double it again, or 8508 armor, to get to 75%. Trying to double it a second time would not be feasible/worth your while. Better to add vitality/power/other stats.
edit: Here’s a link to the math behind it in case you’re interested in going really in-depth.

3k armor is generally good enough but really depends on you skill level and what you are doing in wvw.
