This is sort of two points combined into one.
Firstly, with items that have requirements, we're told that if we don't meet those requirements the item will operate "Like a newbie weapon of that type". But in the game there's no indication of exactly what the damage range is for that "Newbie-like weapon". It's not so bad with things like the Censor's Icon which gives a + to Energy because I can work out what that + is by equiping it and watching my energy, but for weapons and shields, it would be very nice to know what's really going on in there.
The second, and more important point is that of elemental weakness in Elementalist armours. I heard that the elemental armours that give + Armour vs certain elemental attacks also have - Armour vs the opposite element, but it's not shown in the armour description. If this is truly the case then I think it would be good to show that - Armour as well.
