In Diablo III, "Armor" has two meanings. It can be a general term that refers to any type of non-weapon equipment worn by a player. It is also a specific term, a number found on every piece of armor. Heavier armor has a much higher Armor number, which translates to less damage taken by the character wearing it. The benefits of Armor are similar to the benefits of higher [[Defense]], the attribute.
As for armor in general, the equipment is quite changed from Diablo III. There are more types of armor and more slots on the [[paper doll]], but fewer individual kinds of armor; D3 offers just 18 pieces of torso armor, compared to 45 in D2X. [[Armor dyes]], [[crafting]], [[socketing]], [[enchanting]], and many other features have also been added to extend the armor finding game.
Almost every piece of armor looks very different when worn by each class, and some offer visual differences between male and female as well.
