LOL

1. Complete heal

2. HP keep you alive against both spells and melee damage whereas AC does jack.

HP > Resists > AC. Serious.

Not entirely accurate.

Hmm. Mitigation seems to be scaling pretty well within my means of testing it.

All data is a 60 Iks Monk getting hit by the same level 59 Crystal Destroyer in Velks (max hit 350, min hit 81) for roughly 10 minutes.

All AC values were with identical buffs (aego) and achieved by removing gear down to 877. To get below that I had to load up on plat to get some AC penalty going on.

877 AC (naked + aego)

770 AC (naked + aego + enough weight to drop my AC that far)

I will try out MotG or some other much higher level mob when I have the time.
