Cap or no cap the fact remains AC is a horrible stat to prioritize (aka at a detriment of others stats) for a ranger, or really any class. Sure if you are comparing two items of similar other stats/hps and one has more ac…get the higher AC one. If you are a tunnel shopper not weighing BiS the gear is heavily skewed one way or another.
In the original post way back the example was Chokidai Pauldrons or Imbued Granite Spaulders. Rather than see it as an AC vs Hp debate what about the 10sv all? I have a some Chokidai’s but not on my ranger, he uses IGS’s constantly. Worn MR is just always good to have and having 200+ FR/CR really takes the steam out of partially resistable AE’s like in ToV which can save you hundreds of hps a fight and many thousands over the course of a raid. Also in this example on blue the cost difference is like 25x so why wouldn’t someone have both??
Any 60 can tank most grind group blues or bump npc in the game for about 20 seconds. Mine floats around with crap hps and only dies on raids if I get aggro when I don’t want it. Nothing is going to save you in that situation besides praying on a lucky warrior weapon proc.
