Game Mechanics: Mob Atk Values vs. Player AC

[sever]

Something's off. I'm over 800 ac now and since defense capped at 210, only gear is going to increase it. Even light blue cons are still hitting for max almost every other hit. What's the point of a tank if all you have is more hp than everyone else, you still consume the healer's mana at the same rate. Right now, mage earth pets are taking less damage per mob round.
