armor items (WoW)  

This article is for equipment that can be considered armor. For the damage-reduction attribute, see Armor.

In a world where you are constantly besieged by swords and arrows and all kinds of other sharp, pointy objects, it's nice to have some protection. For some classes that prefer to travel light, this is their own abilities that keep them safe. For everyone else, there's armor.

Depending on whose definition you are using, armor can be any piece of equipment that's not a weapon, or it might just be the major body-covering equipment slots. What is universal is that all of your equipment is essential to your survival. Even for a class like a mage that doesn't protect themselves with steel, the attribute bonuses on items are crucial to their success.

The type of armor your character is permitted to use is based upon your class. You may gain additional armor proficiency at level 40, as well.
