What your data shows is that 198 worn AC + 61 Spell AC does not hit the softcap for Druids. At this point we need to find the softcaps. I can work on that since I have the AC. Priest softcaps should be the same.

My data does not show that. It raises that question. I realize how pedantic this sounds, but an experiment cannot result in a conclusion that it was not attempting to answer. I agree that at this point we need to find the softcaps, but my experiment does not answer that question, it raises that question. Not exactly a rigorous source, but here's a comic addressing a similar topic: https://xkcd.com/882/

Any speculation on results before I analyze the parse I did with and without Bladecoat?

Edit: to be clear, that experiment I did was not with 198 worn AC, because I was removing various slots for each parse. I usually have prexus totem equipped, but took that off to free up a slot, then removed 23 ac either via lodi shield or whatever else. I also added 1 ac by upgrading a bracer, so I think that puts it at 171 worn ac + 61 spell ac.
