That last pair of parses certainly shows that shield AC has an effect when overcapped at level 5.

Thank you!

I would urge you to start posting predictions in this thread before each future experiment. That way you can compare the actual results with your hypothesis.

I did explain what I was expecting already earlier. I've asked you before in other threads to read the thread before making claims like these.

The 45 AC does not invalidate Haynar's formula, as a softcap exists as well. The shield test shows the softcap. With a softcap, you can never actually hit the hardcap.
This is because once you hit the softcap of 45, the last 10 AC between 45 and 55 gets softcapped. The hardcap prevents you from having more than 55 worn AC, so 178 worn AC gets clamped to 55.
With a softcap at 45 and a hardcap at 55, the best AC you could get is 47 if the softcap return is 20%.
A shield increases softcap, so you get closer to 55.

The last set of parses was post 68:
