Ranger ac parsing (I'm serious)

Who are you talking about? I was interested enough in the OP to run my own experiment, and if you want to tank 10,000 hits on a L55+ NPC with multiple AC levels and classes and do all of the appropriate confidence interval math, I'd be very interested.

My apologies. I can see how you might have thought I was talking about the data you provided, but that was not my intention. I haven't really had enough of a chance to look at any of the data in this thread to form an opinion on how conclusive it is. That's part of why my response to Snaggles was purely theoretical (coin flips) and not practical.

When you provided your data you included the appropriate caveats about sample sizes. If you were willing to provide me with the raw logs of hits and misses I'd be very interested in taking a look.

I wish I could do that experiment myself, but my main is a druid with about 141 worn ac, and I don't think anyone is all that interested in how well a druid can tank. If I could find a good constant-level subject for my 30 bard I could run some tests from 100-200 worn ac. When I get my ranger to 50 (47 now) I plan to run some tests against a froglok hunter in Trakanon's Teeth, but he only has about 140 worn ac so I'm not sure how useful that will end up being. I've got a 54 cleric with close to 200 worn ac I'd like to parse against a froglok hunter as well.

If anyone ever wants to run a long parse, I'm happy to provide heals on my cleric on either blue or green, but no one's ever taken me up on that.
