Except that AC does nothing and is completely not working.
THe only thing that seems to work is that you hit cloth classes more often. But if you are a naked warrior fighting a full AC geared warrior then the damage is exactly the same...... broken. This makes all AC items useless in pvp.

If I am a warrior in full bronze or Rubicite fighting a warrior clad in cloth and leather and he is hitting me for the same amount, that needs to be fixed.
From Prova's recent post with the 49 Caster it looks like Avoidance AC is working correctly.

Mitigation AC is what seems to be the problem then. Here are some numbers for three classes of what it should look like. These parses are from NPC's 3-4 levels lower facing front. Cleric AC and Shaman Agility. The RAW AC Hardcap at level 51 should be 163. There are no parses of a character that was naked unfortunately. Still may be somewhat helpful.

@ Level 60 -- RAW AC Hardcap at Level 60 is 289 (385 Cloth).

Another note, there should be no Shield AC bonus ever here. It should act just as any other slot (Back/Face/Shoulder/etc). This bonus was added just before Planes of Power.
