Claims are made that after a very low amount of worn AC rangers get no further benefit, almost as if they have a very low cap on worn ac with no post cap returns. Or something like that.
Certainly my ranger gets whaled on by easy mobs, despite having a fair whack of AC gear, but even a small amount of spell AC seems to help /shrug. anecodotal / unmeasured / untests on my part, but I've seen others present evidence, such as parses of rangers tanking worse than shamans (perhaps the shaman was just better buffed? idk).

I almost wonder if rangers were designed to capitalize on avoidance AC. From a DnD perspective that would make sense. They are supposed to be good at dodging and parrying, rather than heavily relying on armor. That's why they get the Weaponshield disc.
If they were designed around avoidance AC, that may be why the have a lower worn AC cap. Sadly avoidance AC doesn't do much on p99, so Rangers just get screwed over.
