Here are the categorized types of Damage:
Physical:
Piercing
Slashing
Blunt
Elemental:
Fire
Cold/Icy/Water
Lightning/Air/Shocking
Earth/Ebon
Other:
Chaos
Light/Holy
Dark/Shadow
Your base armor applies against everything. If your armor is also +10 vs elemental, then your armor level is increased by 10 against any elemental damage. If you armor is +15 vs fire then it is only increased against fire damage, not lightning or earth.
A firey dragon sword does Fire damage NOT physical damage. It is a good idea to carry two weapons with two different types of damage for use against different opponents. This is one reason Chaos Axes are very popular with warrios. There is no armor with special bonuses against the Other damage categories (although there is Necro armor that has a penalty against Holy damage)
