I want you guys to keep a few things in mind about AC:
1. The version of Eashen you were fighting had a larger minimum hit than he should have. This has been corrected (Many velious raid mobs are being adjusted to their correct values).
2. The AC system was revamped by Haynar midway through Kunark to be much more accurate. The system itself is pretty solid and Haynar to this day is continueing to tweak it. However:
3. More importantly than the code to support a correct system is the mob values that also need to be set correctly. If there's an issue with mobs hitting too hard, this is most likely the reason. Mobs inherit an attack value by default from a formula in code, and then this can be modified further by database values the content devs can set. These values are just as important to the effect of a player's AC as the code itself, and many mobs are not tweaked for this.
So I just want people to keep this in mind before being so quick to blame the AC Code, as it's much more than code that affects the system. Also, you guys might find that a lot of parsing done in the early days of Kunark may not be accurate anymore, as we are still updating the system and mob values.
