Ranger ac parsing (I'm serious)

[Goregasmic]

It seems all classes have 200ac cap despite varying mitigation/avoidance stats, for this mob at least.

What we know FOR SURE from the devs mouth:

- The soft cap should be 325 at level 50
- There is no hard cap
- Warrior post softcap returns are 45%.

We aren't seeing any of that. Either it is broken, we're missing something or there is a cut off mechanism we aren't aware of. Level difference generally plays a huge part in mitigation so maybe they put a dynamic ceiling based on mob level so raid geared melees don't walk around mostly immune to mobs up to ~50?

I'd really like to see more testing on higher level mobs but all I have on p99 is a chanter. Unless you want me to haste the mob and C2 your healer I can't do much sadly.

This is the assumption I'm getting reading this thread. Your level, or possibly your Defense skill, relative to your opponent's Offense skill/level, can reach a damage mitigation cap that for a level 60 only requires a bit of AC to reach.

I'd be very interested to see how a higher level mob looks when charted out, but I understand there aren't a ton of options. A Lava Walker in Skyfire is apparently level 52, can maybe pull one of those to zone and test there. Keep it snared, zone out if needed, should stay put while snared. Would probably have to bring a healer friend though.
