agi doesnt have the same returns on mitigation as hard AC does.

Agility gives avoidance, not mitigation.

displayed AC is a weird kinda composite stat that sorta guestimates roughly your overall tankiness

Your displayed ac is a composite stat of "mitigation" and "avoidance". Mitigation ac is the raw ac from gear and buffs. It, basically, makes mobs hit you for less damage.
Avoidance comes from Agility, the Defense skill, and (possibly) Iksar ac bonus. It, basically, makes mobs "miss" you with melee attacks more often.

When you buff AGI, your AC stat bumps up. So it does *something*. Just not clear on how much it helps or if its the same/better than raw AC.

Agility gives you 1 avoidance ac for every 3 agility points, this is why you gain ac when your agility is buffed. Same with gaining more ac than you thought when putting on a piece of gear that has ac and agility on it. It is, very much, not the same as raw ac. Avoidance is definitely a bit tougher to get a lot of. I don't know about "better". Regardless, attacks missing entirely is pretty cool.

The only attempt I've seen to parse it was Meathookk's
maybe it is relevant against stronger or weaker npcs

Levels are a determining factor in how well your avoidance works. Red, Yellow, and even cons almost, ignore it. Xp viable blue cons, and lower, is really where it shines. With regards to the mentioned parse, cliff golems at 60 are too close to your level for accurate results. Not too mention, 180 agi to 230 agi is like 10 avoidance ac at best. Diminishing returns after 200, iirc. 180 agi to 200 is around 6 or 7 ac, 200 to 230 would be a negligible amount. 10ish more ac is better, but you will never see how much better it is against something that close in level.

Would love to see some more parses, if anyone decides nerd out on it.
