Skills
I've updated one section with skill icon, but I think on the other section, there are skills missing, such as. horsedrowner 07:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not understand or see in the Ranger class description/details where they get +30 ele AR
I do not understand or see in the Ranger class description/details where they get +30 ele AR. ...edit...I found where the answer is...is there a way to link to this page:  It explains that for PRIMARY (This was not specifically stated in the elemental damage page) rangers the armor has an inherent armor resistance to elemental damage...and I feel this was unclear from the previous readings....I do not understand how to edit the page and would feel horrible if I changed something and couldn't revert it to the previous state.

excerpt from this page: Rangers, for instance, have an inherent +30 AR against elemental damage, and thus are better defended in the face of elemental sources than other professions. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.119.68.103 (talk).
 * It isn't quite accurate. It's an inherent armor mod on ranger armor, not on the rangers themselves.  A naked ranger, or ranger equipped in universal/neutral equipment like festival hats does not gain an armor bonus.  MA Anathe

Ward Against Harm
I'm removing Ward Against Harm from the list of skills which increase armor vs elemental damage. WAH provides fire-specific defense, and a general armor bonus. If armor vs a specific element warrants inclusion, there's a long list of insignias to add. If general armor bonuses do likewise, WAH is only one of many. TLDR Version: WAH doesn't make sense to include. (It was added and removed once before by Gordon Ecker in the past, as well.) MA Anathe 05:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with this decision. The only reason I believe it was placed here in the first place was because it specified one elements armor bonus being higher despite having a general armor bonus for everything else.  I can see where a misconception would come in to place it here.  PowerGamer 05:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was thinking the same. Backsword 06:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Decision don't include the protection from element-specific damage in this article should be clearly described in preface. It also should be noted that specific protection is explained in corresponded articles instead, otherwise readers can be misguided. --Slavic 07:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
