Default AC issues are starting to be really problematic.

So, I've been doing a lot of Velious content... Kael, Plane of Growth, Temple of Veeshan, etc. For the most part, things felt about right. Accurate max hit, accurate HP, accurate abilities (for the most part). However, everything still felt really off.

I think the problem here is the way P99 handles AC.

Let's take Eashen of the Sky for example. For any experienced guild, Eashen should serve as little less than a speed bump on entry into NToV. But on beta, Eashen is a badass machine of destruction. He doesn't flurry or rampage anymore, and his max hit seems right. So what's wrong?

After talking to some people, it appears that the issues revolve around AC. Eashen is hitting at the top spectrum of his damage range too often, and players are very very rarely ever hitting for their own max damage. This means mobs are taking much longer to kill, and are doing much more damage than they should.

So... getting the correct abilities and such on mobs is a relatively easy thing, but getting AC in order to truly make the Velious content feel more classic is going to be a more difficult obstacle, I imagine.
