ac works in pve for sure
wear ac gear and tank then switch it for resist gear and tank the same mob
u'll notice a biiig difference

If you had bothered to read the original post, you would have noticed that I equipped a 40AC shield and took either more or the same damage over a 10 minute fight. If you don't have a parse, you are simply deluding yourself.

Also Alecta I don't suppose you could do us all a big favor and post the AC code? I mean its not impossible that its just hard to measure.

In PvP you mitigate as if you were a mob (Don't ask me why it's set up that way.) So AC matters in PvP, but not as much as in PvE, which apparently isn't as much as it should.

It's something that's on my radar to fix (the PvP part). I noticed that when I was mucking around with defensive disciplines in PvP.

Fix the PvE part first. It's kind of a big deal for AC to work properly.

Yar, will ask about it and let ya know. I post a lot of the guts of the pvp code because, well, no one else on staff cares too much. Will check on the AC stuff.

Shield AC goes over the softcap . . . which was not implemented until Luclin, before which we had a hardcap . . . which is at 289, while my Iksar warrior has 160ish base AC and 200 with the shield . . . were the AC changes to be implemented, my warrior would get worse, not better.

Conclusion: 'u mad bro' has become the new feces for knuckledragging morons to sling over the Internet.

P.S. Thanks Alecta!
