That was a thing for tanks in live, but later expacs.
I've seen it floated in many threads on p99 forums.

You could probably find that value but I feel like it would most likely only be applicable to mobs in that range, for that AC value and probably with a similar time to kill. And once you are past flattening the DI, HP>AC.

Weighing an item per its stats is a great way to compare two items of the same slot. As for if those stats are particularly relevant (outside placebo), that’s a different matter.

Coming up with a personal upgrade path and comparing items leads to less spontaneous spending and excessive point use. I’d rather burn those points on alts than bank replaced NTOV gear. Perhaps more important, it gives someone agency to own those decisions.
Oh for sure, especially for hybrids where ideally you'd max a couple stats, which is impossible on EC gear so you have to find your balance. Ranger if you go all out tank you'll have like 145str, almost no dex and no mana. Cool if you mt but if you're called on for DPS and you don't have like 190str you'll be failing your DPS role to an extent. If you want to bow stuff you'll need the str/dex and if you fear kite you'll probably want str/mana. Those choices come at a cost and if you don't want to carry full bags of gear you'll have to find your sweet spot somewhere. For some slots it is a no brainer but for others it is a lot more nuanced.
