armor class broken?

[Estu]

AC is important and effective here, so it is not broken in that sense. Whether it was broken some time ago in the server's history or whether it is exactly as effective as it was on live are different questions.

The monk nerf is past the timeframe of this server.

I've been looking at this topic lately too. Check out these links:

these links rock flyboy, thank you

from one of those links:

RAW AC

Hardcap on Raw AC for non casters was 289 at level 60. Hardcap for casters was 385. Looking at the numbers at the bottom of Kavhok's post, a level 51 Monk with 163 Raw AC was at the Hardcap. Raw AC caps for every class (except Nec/Wiz/Mag/Ench) per level should look like this from 51-60. It's just an assumption but I bet AC was hardcapped per level from 1-50 also. However the increase was much smaller. It looks like 3 AC per level.

Melee (non casters)

60 - 289
59 - 275
58 - 261
57 - 247
56 - 233
55 - 219
54 - 205
53 - 191
52 - 177
51 - 163
50 - 149 or 50 - 160
40 - 119 or 40 - 130
30 - 89 or 30 - 100
20 - 59 or 20 - 70
10 - 29 or 10 - 40
1 - 2 or 1 - 10

i added up Goat's AC and i'm just below the Hard Cap for level 56, got plenty of room to work with by the time i hit level 60 though.

if that info is correct, then hitting the hard cap at 60 during Kunark is actually pretty difficult for a warrior. pretty much gotta be in full Cobalt to hit the 60 hard cap.
