the decompiled eqmac client (PoP) has these values...

Class Soft Cap
Warrior 430
Pal, Sk, Clr, Brd 403
Rng, Shm 375
Dru, Bst, Rog, Casters 350
Monk 315

(shields directly increase soft cap)

Over-cap Class Returns @ 60 Returns @ 65
Warrior 20% 33.3%
Knights 16.7% 25%
Bard 12.5% 16.7%
Rng, Bst 10% 14.3%
Mnk, Rog 5% 8.3%
Others 5% 5%


unknown whether or not p99 uses these values (probably not), made up their own, or got them from trilogy or titanium decompile

but to the person saying 120-130 AC is probably flat out wrong

Just gear for hp. AC doesn't help you against aoe's but hp helps for everything.

Not 100% perfect but close enough
usually tank with aary shield and vyemm whip
basically a knight

edit: im not near as geared as some rangers, i havent been in a "raid" guild in years and its an alt but its not bad gear

My blue ranger is geared roughly similarly / slightly worse as yours - HoT / LTK tier armour with epics and clicky haste. Never had issues tanking high end group stuff like Fungi King or low end raid stuff like HoT / Wexit trash (provided I bothered to maintain my buffs!)

These days those kind of raids are well oiled machines and it is rare enough to need a ranger tank that weaponshield is usually ready to use and smooth things off further.

Drool, always wanted gear like that but could never stand to raid, not even long enough to get sky cloak.

Spend 28 hours camping some bauble? Sign me up. Raid sky for a single night? Jump off that fucking cloud. Never understood it.

Took me around 6 months to even see a harpy tongue drop! Apparently, for better or worse, PoSky is MQ enabled now though.

Just totted up my ranger's worn AC - it is 273. I really hope there are returns over 130!

Of course there are returns, doesn't matter how far past the soft cap you are, there is no hard cap on AC.

Take off a piece of equipment, for example, say its 10AC bracer and view actually how much your AC goes down. If it's 10 (and the item doesn't have AGI on it) then you know you're not at the soft cap.

Doesn’t this method presume the reported figures for AC are thensame as the numbers used in equations?

Yes!! Glad to see someone else feel the same way. Plane of Sky is the worst! I love the concept, but it's just not fun. The corpsing the keys is another pita. I'd rather do just about anything else in EQ, including some 28hr+ camp lol.

i think lot of rangers gear different, i prioritize resists>hp>ac. but you naturally get lot of each just gearing. i tend to wear doze dagger range vs aow bow for instance.
