AC Mitigation

[Gorroth]

Haven't posted this in bugs because I know the devs are aware of this but I'd like to know whether it's been said if AC mitigation will be looked at once more in the following months.

Here's a short example of what's currently wrong with it, for those who don't know.

I was in the area of an old exping solo camp I used from 44 to 50. As a shaman, with close to 200 more AC than what I then had (from 660 to 860), I figured I'd give it a shot, see how easier it's become.

Well it hasn't, or barely. Mobs still hit me for their max most of the time or just miss; there simply isn't much AC mitigation going on, as in, mobs don't hit me often for lower amounts of damage, it's either all or nothing.

The mobs I ran this short test are still dark blue at level 50 (range of 38-42). On light blues and greens, it seems better, although I get a lot of missed attempts; mobs still hit for their max frequently when they do manage to land a hit. It seems that, as of now, there are hardly any benefits found in stacking AC which puts "tankier" classes even more at a disadvantage compared to pure casters (fierce pets, OP charm) when it comes to tackling content.

With Kunark slowly approaching (hopefully), the level cap being raised and mobs hitting even harder, will this get addressed at some point?
