Druid AC caps and shields

[Vexenu]

What's the current worn AC cap for Druids? Is it worth throwing in some higher AC items (i.e. Crystal Chitin Gauntlets with 20AC) to get near the cap when charming?

Also, does the shield AC bonus (i.e. going over the worn cap) apply to casters as well? Wondering if grabbing a Sarnak Battle Shield for charming would make a noticeable difference when taking hits.

There is no cap. AC returns scale linearly as far as you go. A Druid has tanked Vindi.

AC is the best and only stat to have if you take damage, especially if you stuff around charming on the Druid.

The shield ac overcap thing was a post-Velious feature, iirc. Something like Orb of the Infinite Void may be a better investment.
