Identical results at 45 and 50 AC, right? Looks like the squelch point is about 45.

Total Damage = 1614

What you think is the "squelch point" may just be the softcap. As you can see, equipping a shield did affect the result, even with the same AC. This makes sense when we look at what Haynar said:

Adding a shield increases ur softcap

At low levels the softcap is more level based than defense based. I basically doubled transition so at low levels ac means more.

I added a low level raw ac cap of level * 6 + 25.

So far the data seems to support what Haynar said, the guy who implemented this stuff.
