The way I read this post is the "raw ac cap" of (level * 6 + 25) is a hardcap put on lower levels. So a level 1 has a hardcap of 31 worn AC, and a softcap of X.
I know this contradicts his previous statement:
But I don't think he would use the words "raw ac cap" instead of softcap if he was revealing the softcap formula. He also specified the formula is for low levels.
My guess is they didn't want to divulge the softcap information, but they wanted to give out the low level hardcap information.
EDIT: A warrior can go over 385 worn AC, but this "raw ac cap" is said to be for low levels, so it is probably removed well before level 60. |
WARNING: Wild assumptions based on partial/contradictory claims and evidence.
We know from the sogundordor parses a level 45 mobs will have a 200ac hardcap against them. Bcbrown found 180ac @40.
If that thing is linear, at lower levels it yields:
lvl----cap----softcap
25---120---175
20---100---145
15----80---115
10----60----85
5----40----55
1----20----31
Lvl being player level and cap being mob hardcap. My guess would be "lower level" being something like up to 20 and they removed the hardcap so you could not max out AC until ~25 with bronze armor.
The softcap would be 295ac at lvl45 but the hardcap was parsed at 200. No point in having a softcap if hardcap is lower. I'd guess the hardcap was lifted in kunark for mob 50+ since haynar says there's no hardcap but he's talking to raiders discussing velious raid targets.
That's what would seem to make the most sense so far but we have very little data. I'm currently working on my ranger with hopes of parsing some of that stuff to make sense of all this.
