IMO the differences in ranger tanking in xp groups are most pronounced between those that appear to use Coe/thorns and those who don't.

273 attempts, 61 average hit, 60 Iksar warrior with 204 worn AC and potg.

Will report back without potg. yah small sample size, but I had no heal available :)

172 attempts, 59 average hit, 60 Iksar warrior with 204 worn AC and no potg.


small sample sizes, but no drastic difference in incoming damage between potg and no potg. Certainly I'd suggest any effect is smaller than the noise of RNG.

153 attempts, 82 average hit, 60 Iksar warrior with 104 worn AC and no potg.

Looks like you n00bs dont have any shields,
I have a SHield of the Red Dragon,
Shield of the Water Dragon
and Shield of the Green Dragon

But i dont need to do any tests because I am already the Number #1 Top PVPer in all of EverQuest History

the same red that lost to green in pvp?

congrats, keep working on becoming #1 forum poster too.

So bowquesting n00bs with an 11pt damage bonus is better than a 56pt damage bonus?

I truly fear for your foes.

I dont bowquest because its a bug, the shields are for resists, obviously.

Do you even play the game?

And you have yet to do tests with a shield, does daddy guild master not let you roll on shields?

On RED99 we take what we want, like when I ninja l00ted the Robe and Azure Sky and Stole a Manastone, not asking gm to please give l00t.

Seems 200AC is the drop off point for AC on 60 iksar warrior on a storm giant escort also, and POTG (24 spell AC) doesn't appear to have a strong (or any?) effect being added to that amount of worn ac.

certainly the 100ish AC log took a much higher average hit (80ish) than the 200+ logs (60ish). Can this result be replicated in longer, parses? How is worn AC working on magi or priests? Can we find other mobs to test on, do they show different drop off points? More research is needed.

Yea I have 255 MR in my runaround gear.
