Yeah, I think level 20 is right around the cutoff point where mobs go from dealing no damage to "enough damage that you wouldn't want to pull 10 of them without stuns or slow or something."

Level is weird. If you were talking about tanking level 20 mobs, I bet a level 60 enchanter with 500 AC would take 5% of the damage that a level 30 enchanter with 500 AC would take, even though they would have the same defense and dodge and agility and worn AC and displayed AC.

In regards to both these posts and previous, AC on casters becomes almost meaningless after I think 300 (could be wrong about these numbers but the principle is correct) becuase they only get 9% effecitve or something retardly small after that number. I'm pretty sure level makes the difference with how often a mob hits a player. I think in some calculations I have seen for EMU code it is the biggest factor but that may be different on this server. This can sometimes be obscured by the fact that in some code a hit for zero points of damage are displayed as misses. I could be way off the mark on how it is on P99 though.

In any case though, mobs can't bash while stunned. I understand skepticism but I would suggest a live test.
