How did you never see a max hit in nearly 1700 seconds of fighting?
That’s weird.
And interesting.
I am at run over to Shady on my 60 shaman later tonight if I have the time.

I believe that when AC is sufficiently higher than ATK, you start to lose max hits from the damage interval calc. At the maximum case of infinite AC, I believe you approach 1/2 normal max damage as the max possible.
IIRC from reading hte code, its something like you roll ATK vs. opponents's AC, then you do your roll - opponent's roll. Then you multiply by 20 and divide by the average of opponent's AC + ATK. Add 10, divide by 10, clamp between 0.1 and 2.0, and that's your multiplier. Then you do damage bonus.
So if you have AC 100 and ATK 20, the most you could do is roll a 20 while the opponent rolls a 1. You do 20 * 20 = 400 / (Avg 20 and 100) = 400/60 = 6. 6 + 10 = 16/10 = 1.6 is your max multipler, when it would normally be 2.0.
I remember doing analysis when we used Yetarr vs. Avatar of War, and noted he never max hit. He had 540 hits over the fight, but max hit for 379 when he usually hits for 430. Further analysis showed the top 3 damage intervals were missing, he only hit for 17 distinct values instead of 20.
