Appreciate the data point. I'd love it if you'd read that thread and give your thoughts. One conclusion is that there's a mob-specific "squelch point" above which there's minimal hits for max damage, and more AC above that value isn't helpful. For level 40-45 mobs that value is around 150-200 worn AC. How much worn AC was in your normal set and what level were the mobs you were fighting?
I call it weak/minimally meaningful data because this was in Kunark, I was in my high 50's, the sessions ranged from Karnor's basement to Seb, and it was long enough ago that I don't remember what my worn AC was. So mobs ranging from mid 40's to low 50's (krups). Also tanked Emperor Chottal; god bless my poor healer. It was about as much AC as you were capable of getting at the time with droppables/not raid gear... gem encrusted ring, targishins bone mask, idol of the thorned instead of a bow, etc etc.

It resulted in... really an intuition rather than a conclusion at the time that the extra AC wasn't really noticeable but losing the resistances certainly was.
