One of the admins, I think Rogean, said P99 has both a softcap system with diminished returns AND shield AC granting full benefit overcap, both of which are unclassic Planes of Power-era features but left in as compensation for other unclassic things like many mobs being overtuned.
Spell aggro seems like a mess across the board at present on P99, since that spellaggro patch awhile back.

Ah yeah. I think how AC works remained the same but they definitely toyed with how the caps work. Pre-raid the soft caps are mostly useless since AC reduces mob damage to the minimum long before you reach those caps though, which has created a lot of confusion.
... but since the caps here a higher and high enough most people won't reach them, I don't really understand why some feel AC mattered more on live and here it doesn't do much.
