Thanks so much for testing, the # of swings seems good. It's obvious that AC scaling does work on p99....likely in group content at least (where I've always thought it had noticable returns). Not so sure about raid content sometimes =P.


Softcap AC & returns over softcap testing on p99 does require eliminating alot of variables imo.

- Monk low-weight bonus ac, a mitigation ac bonus on top of a softcap?
- Iksar bonus ac - a mitigation ac bonus on top of a softcap?

Either one would raise the apparent softcap and cover some AC scaling/returns issues. Heck, it could be possible that an iksar monk is tanking better than warriors because of a softcap and returns over cap issue.

- Need to know raw ac from a gearset you're parsing really.
- Ideally would eliminate iksar ac and monk bonus ac, and conduct testing soley through scaling of raw (ie worn) ac to discover a softcap. You could then go back and repeat the test with monk ac and iksar ac if you wanted to know what those are worth on p99 btw.
- Should aim to discover softcap, then returns over cap. Would be interesting to conduct test with warrior to compare.

Boring for sure, I'd be game to help conduct the tests though, would finally give us some insight into the softcap/returns system on p99 and help people evaluate if AC is truly worth anything.
