As far as I know, no mod fetches armory data for an enemy character and it is impossible to "inspect" them. High rated arena members will often log out in a "smurf" set, where you cannot glean their resilience or other important gearing decisions and use that information against them. Leveling items have a very distinctive graphic which shout "FOCUS ME" more so than health, which is the second biggest indicator in arena as to a viable target. For this reason players might choose to gem stam and hide cloak and hat display to make it look like they have more PvP gear than they do, or put a PvE item in a prominent slot and use resilience items so they look like a good target while being very difficult to kill.
