Yeah I don’t think 1850 is the soft cap, I think for a pally the soft cap is in the low 300s, but shields don’t count towards the soft cap so they have a higher mitigation value than worn armor AC. AC still seems to add a lot of value well past the soft cap though, perhaps 1850 is the hard cap?
I’ll see if I can find the post I was thinking of to substantiate my assertion (or not, who knows the future?).

You may be thinking of two different caps.
"Worn AC" is the total of the AC stats of all items you're wearing, plus buffs. Most people don't even know what their worn AC is. The softcap is 289 for all classes. Past the softcap, you get abysmal returns. And yeah, shields ignore the softcap.
The AC number shown in our inventory is some twisted monstrosity that doesn't tell us very much at all. Maybe this 1850 cap applies to the AC number shown in the inventory.
