Class and level always had more to do with mitigation in classic than AC so it isn't that big of a deal.

It isn't until the end of velious and Luclin that you get enough AC on gear to make more than a negligible difference compared to the guaranteed AC you get from the defense stat and buffs.

Rangers pathetic HP and lower skill caps cripple their tanking more than their chain armor at this point in the game.

That's also true. After twinking my SK with nearly full Blood Ember, Atramentous Shield and all the other high-AC shit, I was really underwhelmed with the small difference it made. It still helps, but it's only worth it because you can't twink your avoidance like you can in more modern games, and because HP isn't very important until endgame when it's raining CHs. As for rangers being avoidance tanks, that's an interesting concept but not really based in truth, because they don't get extra avoidance from anywhere. In fact they end up with less at high levels, having worse defensive skill caps than the plate tanks.
