Parses or it never happened.
We'd have to know your ranger AC before and after the 100ac increase and non-velious raid geared monks probably have much lower than 200ac worn so yes, an AC increase would benefit them more. But monks also have better mitigation so without detailed data we don't know where the difference would come from but so far it doesn't seem to be AC for the level ranges tested.
My only "claim" is there seems to be a 160ac hard cap on level 40 mobs and a 200ac hard cap on level 45 mobs, regardless of classes tested. The parses showed it so this is pretty much undisputable. No one can claim AC is useless on a ranger. Without further parses on higher level mobs it is hard to pinpoint where and why the wheels fall off for rangers.
Geonids are 44-48 IIRC so I suspect the results wouldn't be wildly different compared to the lvl 45 mob but without detailed parses we'll never know.
This is a post about the claw of lightning though so if people feel strongly about ranger AC, lets go discuss it in the appropriate thread.
