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.
