Interesting, from what you said the 1HS did better vs low-AC mobs than I would have expected. Just goes to show how weak 2H are right now imo. I would be interested if you ever do a test against higher-AC mobs.

Also, don't forget that shield ac is another benefit to the sword and board. If you able to get your hands on a high-ac shield like the Sevalak one or NToV one you will notice a pretty huge boost in worn AC, simply because the shield is the only slot in EQ where you get ALL the ac from the item even if you're above the softcap,
Got any evidence this is the case/was the case in classic eq? Pretty sure the concept of shield ac was added way later.
