Fungi > all unless raid tanking with a tight cheal chain

For the rest (raid or group) ac > hp. At most levels of gameplay it’s a no brainer as the best hp gear usually has high ac and visaversa. I can’t think of many choices a tank will have from 51 onward where it’s a choice of raw high ac vs raw hp. In later expansions (ie augments) there are a lot more choices to make but not velious capped servers.

I’d use a 1hp = 6-8ac ratio on p99 ... but as of yet I can’t think of any realistic situation where you’d have to think too hard about it. At 60 in casual gear I’m already at 3.3k unbuffed. My gear is pretty meh but it gives way more than enough to tank anything a group might face. For raids in velious, high hp gear comes with high ac.

It’s a wash.

I know this might not be relevant but on EQmac client back in the day someone did a bunch of testinf with ac rankings at 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600.

It's all a bit fuzzy but I remember at 1400ac the returns on AC diminished fast. Now It may not be relevant for p99 as it has different coding/expansion set but at some point AC becomes meh. (Tho I think AC is broken on p99 rifht?)
