Velious quest armors seem to be about 18-26% more AC for warriors. Ok, I'll buy that. Of course, that's Velious, so a ways off.
Is there a soft cap for AC that is easily reached by raid-geared tanks in Classic, Kunark, or Velious? Honestly, I don't know, that's why I'm asking. I swear I remember hearing folks talking about something like that (well seeing actually- in chat

As for the other stuff: more HPs from stamina, higher defensive skill caps, passive damage reduction- there MUST be somewhere that spells all of these things out, with parses to back them up, right? Steel Warrior maybe? I've honestly not played a melee very much at all, so I never really got into all those discussions back in the day. I was more interested in discussions about reducing mana use, and figuring mana pools and meditation regen rates, and so forth. Surely there must be folks on this server that have played the melee meta-game in live that can point us to all of that data?
