Trials run some years ago--I think during one of the periods you were on break--indicated rangers have a very low effective worn AC cap and virtually no return overcap. All other classes, even clothies like enchanters, appear to have a much higher worn AC cap with considerable return beyond. There was some debate as to whether rangers were glitched, or whether it was part of unfinished construction from the Velious-beta AC overhaul and class-specific AC caps were never implemented to the other classes. Regardless, for now it appears optimal ranger gearing is something like 120-130 worn AC then gearing for stats.
