AC is broken on p99, the numbers are way off and hard AC has barely the impact that it did on Live
tanks overwhelmingly used Kael armor back on live because of the higher raw (worn) AC, and they were parsing their mitigation back then to confirm it (something that wasn't as common in Vanilla/Kunark)
as a Live Shaman, AC was so good that there was a huge noticeable difference between shamans wearing leather/chain and shamans wearing "plate" with high AC. A set of Totemic or Jaundiced meant you took significantly less damage while slowing.
on p99 it's wildly different. You can't really "feel" the difference with higher worn AC like you could on live. There is some parsing which shows it still has an impact, but it's not definitive like it once was.
