AC vs HP
What are peoples thoughts for warriors on the effectiveness of AC vs HP? I sit at around 1100~ ac buffed. Should I be wearing sarnak earrings of stations over bs ears? I wear a gem encrusted and a 5ac 55hp, but I have djarn ring. Should I swamp in the djarn for the gem encrusted? Trying to figure out what to prioritize, when do the diminishing returns of ac kick in, etc., thanks!

I think level >>>>>> all here. HP being a maybe somewhat distant second in comparison, more ac is good and everything but I wouldn't trade it for raw hps. Djarn ring > fire emerald plat.

I recall a rule of thumb on live that some players used was to rate 1 AC as equal to about 4 or 5 HP. Danth | |||

i want to say it was 1:2 ratio. I actually thought it was 1:5ish too but im pretty sure anyone would take 100hp over 20ac, and even to extremes, 100ac to 500hp

AC is king, even on Ch's it makes a big diffrence in how early you can start them and how often you need to cast them. This is noticeable in xp groups.
Probably HP on big raid hitters though. Buying 100 more hp for a hit might make a difference on a sloppy CH chain and raid mobs hit like mack trucks regardless due to levels. AC is still not irrelevant though and in velious the best tanks were all AC capped anyway. Oh yeah, and it makes more of a diff on a war who gets much more mitigation for AC then the other classes and have lots of HP anyway. This assumes EMU calcs AC correctly which I think rogeans servers do properly now. For a time AC augs were far far greater then +hp augs for a raid tank. Super legit guide, this is one of the few I'll get behind. http://wiki.project1999.org/Guide_fo...rated_Warriors Quote:

But having your wars/tanks bring some gear that ups their dps a lil when their not sitting infront of mobs makes sense too. Not the original source but the stuff listed in this post for softcaps and how mitigation works is relavent. http://eqtitan.com/forums/viewtopic....t=1271&start=0 Ahh and the original thread: (of course linked to in the above) but you may want to read through the discussion if your curious about the nitty gritties and theorycrafting. http://www.thesteelwarrior.org/forum...?t=7643&page=1 Quote:
P.S. I see people not caring about or using sheilding buffs on red, and this makes me sad as a pro pve cleric who's seen many battles. The 1-2 mins downtime to buff that is worth it over the course of 60 minutes of chainpulling. Wen't ahead and bolded the important stuff that directly anwsers OP question about when AC looses effectiveness and what the soft caps are. It goes into how to determine it, which is different for each class, rangers AC 1k != warrior AC 1k. | |||||

Frylock: Where on earth did you get this, Meatwad? Master Shake: Yeah, where? I gotta confiscate this, give it all to me. I need to learn how to read, back here. Ignignokt: Your neighbor Carl was gracious enough to let us rip him off and burn his furniture for no reason. Err: Now what are you going to do about it? Meatwad: Yeah man, what are you going to do about it? Frylock: I'm about to show you, little man, right now. Err: Oh, good, 'cause I'd love to see it. Ignignokt: Fryman, fill your eyes with double vision. Frylock: My eyes! Err: Yeah, touch the skies. Ignignokt: Those aren't the words, Err. Frylock: I can't see straight! What have you done to me? Ignignokt: You're a jukebox hero. You've got stars in your eyes. Frylock: Yeah? I'll show you stars! Take this! Err: Hahaha! Good shot, buddy! Master Shake: Wait! what I'm doing in here is private! Frylock: Dammit Shake, put that girlie book down and get your ass out here and help me! Ignignokt: Come on, dirty white boy. Err: INSTRUCCIONADOS! Ignignokt: And bring your urine. Frylock: You're not going to get away with this! Err: Try and get me. Frylock: Ow! my nose! Master Shake: Oh, no! Frylock, you have a problem. You're a drunk. Frylock: Shake, this ain't no game! We need to get that belt so I can disable it! Master Shake: What belt? Ignignokt! Buddy! Hey! There you are, buddy! Hey, what's up? Hey, you know, Frylock says you got this magic belt that grants wishes. Ignignokt: Yes, cup. Master Shake: You know, those magazines you guys brought over really made me start thinking like-- Could you bring me some girls? Ignignokt: Then it shall be so. Err: Are you ready to work for the weekend? 'Cause I'm going to turn you loose to hot girls in love! Master Shake: Did it do it? Err: Yeah, that was it. Master Shake: Just, um, are you sure? Err: Yeah. Master Shake: I think I'm feeling it. Oh, yes, I'm feeling it.
