3. The softcaps do appear to exist, but I haven't confirmed what the values are yet. When the softcap is found, you should hit the softcap, and then focus on other stats like HP and resists. More AC past the softcap will offer some returns, but they probably won't be large. Haynar said that Warriors get 45% returns past the softcap, and the EQEMU code reflects that number. All other classes in the EQEMU code get lower than 45% returns past the softcap.

There is one caveat for this. On my Shaman stacking AC is still benefitial after the softcap, as harder mobs like 6+ Dragons can have dangerous damage spikes. Reducing how many max hits they can do is quite useful for Torpor Tanking.

Going from 207 AC to 386 AC reduced my max hits from 67 to 25.
So stacking AC past the softcap can still be a good strategy when trying to avoid spikes in damage, like getting double attacked for max damage on both hits.
