Final Word on old school Knight's/Charr Hide?

I have an old suit of Glad's armor crafted back in the day when pretty much every warrior had their boots Knight's or Charr Hide because the -3dmg reduction was global and all dmg. Then at various points as more campaigns came out they nerfed the dmg reduction to only physical and also made it local. I had heard conflicting reports back then that the items that were already crafted were still global. I never gave it much though because I wasnt wearing that set much. Now as I revamp and dye my glad's for a second look and to have an energy set I want the pieces to make sense. I like the look of the charr hide boots and if it was global I might consider keeping them.

I apologize for rehashing this again but now that the good wiki is gone things like this arent discussed on the official crap wiki. Anyone have a definitive answer?

I don't think i understand.

Your talking about when they made it so elemental damage wasn't part of the -3 and lots of people got really mad, right?
No i haven't heard anything about that since then.

they arent global and have changed into inscriptions...

The "good wiki" is not gone. You may just have an old link that doesn't work anymore (like happened to me).
Try - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page

You can still use the charr hide boots, all of the old built in buffs are now "insignias", which you can change.

Insignias.

What i think you are saying is that you bought cahrr boots from a longs time ago and think that it might still have the -3 dmg global. Im not quite sure but i think it doesn't. I know they updated it to -3 locals, but idk for sure.

yes thank you my bad

All armors were updated when they introduced the insignia system. If you move your mouse over your old armor, you'll notice the "Knight's" insignia, which does not give a global -3 dmg.
