What to do with this stuff?
I was thinking that these summaries (including the existing prestige summaries) should become linked sub-pages of each profession's armor page with a link someplace on the top level page. I can work on getting the tables in shape while this is decided. --Max 2 17:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Head gear
The armor sets for the various professions include head gear in some cases and not in others. The amount of information varies a great deal. For example Warrior really has only one set of armor with separate head gear while  Mesmer and  Necromancer have many head gear variants. I needed a compact way to distinguish the three possibilities: I designated the three cases by 'yes', ' helm ' and 'helm' for the warriors. I have very little attachment to the actual terms. I'd even consider icons as an alternative as long as their meaning is clear. --Max 2 17:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Full sets with both armor and head gear.
 * Headless sets – Four pieces without head gear.
 * Head pieces – Head gear as a separate item.

Format
The main problem is putting a lot of information in a small space. The requirements are: I've used tool tips to stuff the Cost information into the table. Not a great idea, but at least the information is there. Some information explaining how the tables should be used is almost certainly needed and will need word-smithing. --Max 2 17:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Links to the detail pages for each armor type.
 * Identification of the campaign associated with each armor type.
 * Acquisition method.
 * Armor ratings available.
 * Armor rating vs Cost.
 * Reasonably easy to understand what information is being presented.
 * Minimal need for horizontal scrolling.
