A few simple questions

Hello. I'm new to guild war and have some basic question:

1. What does AL mean? Do i get hit less or when i get hit i take less damage (and if so only physical or all damage) ?

2. Does chance to hit exists and as i go up levels does my attack ration increases ?

3. I have read about somethin called exhaustion (prob when that spell is used it clears my all energy) but i wanted to know more about those kind of effects and things like "Focus Item" and stuff...

Thats all i can remember atm but ill keep my post updated cause there are still a lot of stuff i dont fully understand.

well i know AL means armor level, so the higher this is the less damage a hit does on you.

i dont really know what you mean with the second question but if you mean that if you grow levels you do more damage then yes (dont think you mean this)

and for the third question you should go look it on the site, i think there was something about all the effects

exhaustion to my knowledge slows the regen for mana down...........which is a pain in pvp but thats the risk you have to take the best defense is to attack
