SK - To AC or not to AC

Vindi is a terrible mob to parse AC on. It don't mean shit for him.

I'd be curious to know how you know this. Have you parsed him? If so, what were your findings?

(Edited because my initial post sounded douchey- sorry for that)

Yes, extensively.

Why else would you think I would say this.

That's not to say my post wasn't hyperbole, it has an effect. Just such a minor effect it isn't worth sacrificing HP.

Honestly I'm glad to hear it wasn't just snark for snark's sake. I'm always surprised by douchey we are to each other on this forum considering we all share the same niche hobby and am glad this was not that.

I'm also glad to hear you've parsed it a bunch! That'll save me the trouble of doing the same.

I don't plan on giving up HP for AC for raid mobs either! I agree it doesn't seem worth it.

No.

ON P99, you could exceed it. On this server. On the client, numerically. It showed. \

The 255 client shown cap wasn't till like 2013 or something. We did initial VP kills with 400+ resists in FR, still got chewed by nex and noone resisted. As it's broken. Was an indoor zone then too, so we could LoS it.

Not sure how to say it any clearer. There was no 255 cap. You saw 256 on the client, on xp mobs the resists scaled fine. You saw 304MR if you had 304MR, on p99. And that was 304MR. Dragon resists here are insanely overtuned. I'm not talking about showing 255, and having some effect past 255.

Ah gotcha. Sounds like something to be explored for custom content, assuming there isn't a better option to get resists more classic.

can we finish normal content, nothing custom until we get food duration.

Bread and circuses.

[Solist]

can we get dragon+giant+everything else atk values fixed
can we get dragon resists fixed
can we get spells landing on dragons like classic
can we get classic leashing mechanics not this weird permanant wipe thing.
can we get AC working on all classes
can we get classic sneak pulling reduced assist range
can we get classic dragons able to move
can we get classic trash able to move through wings
can we get pathing that works like it did for every zone in the game until it was 'fixed' except ring war and sky, and just fix those two.
can we get loremaster dropping swc again like all evidence pointed to
can we get AE caps removed like classic
can we get some raiders in CSR roles
can we get some raid rules rotated or randomly selected every quake out of a pool of raid rules.
can we fix red and actually listen to red players, instead of staff who've never played red trying to run red corruptly until they're run off and the damage is done.
can we get classic amounts of items to drop from dragons/giants, not this half drop nonsense we have.
can we get a new server at current timeline, like classic new servers were.
can we get luclin minus shar vahl.

It's because AC is useless in end-game tanking. NPC level and attack power are so high that they hit for max damage every hit anyway. It's why warrior tanks stack HP.

New Set

I put together a new set based on a lot of the recommendations here. Some of the items are a long shot, but technically they don’t require raiding AFAIK.

Thank you for all the great replies.

Since I have a Shaman in my trio and can avoid the AGI penalty would any of you recommend also using the Stonemelder’s Band?
