Just checked my character, 174hp:102AC so you are correct.

Kind of have to take it on a case by case basis. There might be a good argument. Rarely does something have just a ton of AC with no other stats. There are a few high AC and sv magic items in ToV. In that case it may be worth it (Fesh’s Amulet of the Storm, just an example, not advocating for this).
Hps are ideal. Pullers value sv magic. AC is going to come along with the rest but wouldn’t be my goal by itself. | ||

I took a look at my junk geared 52 monk to see what stats I had picked for my equipment. 125 worn AC 370 worn HP 122 HP from worn STA 53 worn Sv Magic Looks like I've gone for about 4HP:1AC. For reference the equipment was based off a set of Crystalline Silk armor, swapping pieces out for epic/whistling fist robe/monk shackles/low tier planar/kael arena gear as I found it. | |||

If you plan on being hit.. AC is cool - if you plan on being hit by a raid mob while pulling.. its going to hit for max damage anyway (level mitigation) so.. hp.

Also I understand that itemization most likely prevents most classes from hitting AC at those tiers.

ac is absolutely not the same between classes a 1700 ac wizard will take hits worse than a 1700 ac monk who will take hits worse than a 1700 ac plate tank

rAC = SoftCap + Shield + [ WornAC - (SoftCap + Shield) ]*OvercapReturn
Overcap Returns: Warrior: 0.45 SK/Pal/Monk: 0.33 Rang: 0.17 Other: 0.02 *p99 formula likely slightly different but you should get the idea.

IIRC that code should be from the post SoL / PoP era AC revamps. Classically AC was hardcapped until VERY late SoV, and after that cap was mitigated at the end of expansion the returns post cap were meant to be minimal. Something to consider is even if we have perfectly implemented AC, we still may get non-classic results as AC works by being compared to the aggressors attack, and mob attack values are ... 'best guess' to put it nicely. | |||

I'm curious if other's experience differs, but for all the use cases I've encountered here, AC has been good, HP has been king. | |||
