Is AC broken on P99?

I hear it is...im wondering how broke it really is to determine what class i should play.

Ac and agi help a lot more than they used to. Not broken.

Hi, I posted the report in that thread for the 35 SHD.

I notice ~100AC was a 10 to 15% damage taken reduction (it doesn't change damage avoidance in any way).

This was going from around 650 to 750 and without shield (although shield is the same as any other piece since there is no shield above-cap on p99) on dark and light blue mobs.

Thanks for the report trist...what is the difference in the amount of damage reduction AC does here compared to back on classic live? Any idea?

This is a great question, and it seems to still be up for debate! Loraen/Splorf has put in a ton of time trying to sort it out, and from what it appears, this issue has just been swept under the proverbial carpet. Too bad, because it would be nice to gear your warrior/tanks properly knowing how the gears you choose will affect your gameplay.

Having a incomplete understanding of the exact mechanics of stats during kunark period is classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

IMHO it isn't necessarily AC that is broken, more likely mob offense values don't scale well against player ac as you level up. Just an uninformed hunch though.
