Claw of Lightning is disappointing (ranger)

Thanks for taking the time!

Can you tell us what's your worn AC before gear switches?

I guess the 1.9dps difference is from avoidance?



Haynar said the low level (<51) AC softcap was lvl*6+25, meaning 325 @50. We saw with the ranger parses this is MUCH MUCH higher than actual mob cap so this doesn't really make sense to me unless you're doing vox/naggy? Or a TOV twink in his 50s actually raiding?

IIRC the mobs are tuned differently on here than EQemu, especially for velious so they tweaked AC differently so it makes more sense. Don't know how much we can rely on EQemu for AC over here.

They also stated that warriors gain 45% AC over softcap so that part seem to be class based but how many rangers raid with 400 worn for this to even matter?



... I was wondering if anyone ever tested if agi raised avoidance in parses? People came up with how much AC agi gives but the AC total is a composite number of mitigation+avoidance IIRC. If you're above mob AC cap (ie: 200@45) MAYBE agi gives an avoidance boost? This is pure speculation.

I didn't explain the difference between ranger and monk damage because it wasn't really the point of the discussion. But, the reason my ranger took less damage overall (compared to my monk) was because he was using Earthcaller and Silver Whip of Rage. Otherwise, he would have taken way more damage than my monk.
