On live there was a softcap to ac, i believe it was around 289 worn ac,after the softcap returns dimiahed but did not go away. The advantage to plate wearers was the 289ac from softcap yielded more ac return. There was also believed to be a hardcap around 1300ac calculated, and this is why monks were able to tank so well in velious, because they could hit the hardcap by wearing the high ac itemz even though they didnt get the ac return of plate.

Just started p1999 up again and in doing some research came across this thread. Was anything ever solved in terms of AC being changed / formula being posted?

Apologies for the necro if so. Otherwise, I would be curious to see where we are at with this.
