I Was told Armor Class is broken on this server

There's a number of posts by devs and others on these forums that link to and talk about the way AC works. I believe that agility and defense skill contribute to avoidance (NOT including dodge, parry, etc.), and then buffs and armor and such contribute to mitigation, and that the number displayed ingame is a weird combination of those two different values.

This is what made me surprised that I haven't met more tanks with a Cat o Nine Tails on this server. Of course, most tanks probably group with a shaman more than I tend to. I duo a lot and me and the druid try to be as self sufficient as we can; or at least take every gear advantage we can afford for one last little smidge of survivability.
