Yeah It would be interesting if someone ever did a bunch of parses with two equally geared SKs to see if the AC made any difference for solo challenge mobs. If an SK is able to solo a Cliff Golem, they are probably at AC softcap. That is why I don't think it's going to matter too much, as you get less mitigation above the softcap.

The AC bonus is better for Monks because their armor doesn't have a lot of AC on it to begin with.

If the AC bonus was that big of a deal I think we'd be seeing a lot more iksar wars/SKs.

So end game dungeon crawling you should pretty much have BE greaves always equipped only using FD/DP for emergencies. This could easily equate to thousands of extra mana in a sustained grind/crawl session where that mana could be spent on things like tap/dps and such and not splitting mobs. I don't think a minor AC bump is worth giving this up for. But would be nice to see a parse just to see. I have a 60 troll sk with moderate AC to be able to see an iksar AC difference giving the iksar more favor being below the soft cap to try and test this if someone brought forth an iksar sk.
