Thanks for the on topic reply! This is the conversation I want to have.

When you say 'cumulative' AC do you mean:
"Worn AC added to class bonuses (including the monk bonus), defense skill bonus, agility bonus, and the AC from spell buffs"?
From what I have read, the above should be soft capped for melee at this point (but hard capped for casters). Worn AC by itself should be hard capped for everyone.

Yes, this is what I mean by cumulative AC. And yes, this is my current understanding of how AC worked on live in this era.

From my understanding Haynar seems to imply worn AC is softcapped. I could be wrong!

I have to agree that it makes more sense in context for him to mean that we use a softcap system on worn AC in place of a hardcap on worn AC, rather than him meaning that worn AC is hardcapped but all classes have a softcap on cumulative AC.
I'm also crossing my fingers this is the case. Hardcapping worn AC makes me sad, so even though this wouldn't be classic, I'd prefer for item AC to not be hardcapped and worthless. If this is true, the question then becomes whether or not priest/caster cumulative AC is hardcapped or softcapped.
I'm convinced at this point that he meant both worn and cumulative AC are softcapped, but I'm still hoping someone can definitively set me straight.

Perhaps the best thing to do is PM and ask him whether worn AC is soft capped, if worn + buffs/bonuses is softcapped or something else?
The worst he can do is ignore you, the best is give the exact info you are looking for? I wouldn't bother because I wouldn't want to waste even a precious second of his time, or even worse be the subject of his ire! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. |
This was the first thing I did, but I'm not going to hold my breath, so I decided to make a forum post too. Nothing would make me happier than him replying with a simply "both", though, as long as it isn't just him trolling me.
