Game Mechanics: Armor Class Working Properly?

[Zithax]

I'm curious. I still seem to get trampled for the same amount as a caster with no gear would in groups.

I also have noticed this. I play sitting across from my brother, who plays a druid wearing almost no armour. He can tank as well, if not better than my monk (wearing full cured silk) even though I have over 150 ac more than him.

I also noticed low level mobs hitting very often, and for max damage. What I mean by this, is mobs like black bears (level 4 about?) hitting level 20's for 8-14s at about 65% hit rate, while I miss 65% of the time, and hit for 1's and 2's.

Because a LOT of people talk about it and this is the only armor class thread I could find with a brief use of the search function /bump.
