So I've read a few places that say when you increase your agility that its affect is very small. Is that still the case? I recently had a choice between a BP increasing my agility by 4 and wis by 4 but my ac went down by 2. Would that be a good trade off or is the agility not worth it?

Also, I just noticed that when I switch out between the old BP (Banded mail) with higher AC my AC goes from 442 to 439 even though the AC on the new BP (Bloodstained Tunic)is only 2 less than the old one. Not really sure why. The old one doesn't come with any other stats.

The amount of AC on the gear is not the actual amount that gets added to your AC; there's some multiplier (which explains why your AC went down by more than 2). However, for me (a shaman) adding agility also adds at least a few points (I forget how many exactly) of AC, so honestly I would have expected +4 AGI -2AC to result in more AC, not less.
