FWIW PCs are subject to ac soft caps. From the parsing I have done here NPCs (to include summon pets) are not. If you got a pet you want to keep alive (summoned or charm), ac buffs (and agility for that matter) go a long way.

There is no substantive soft caps on p99 worth worrying about. 1800ac scales from 1500 the same as 1500 from 1200. Every class except rangers which seem to have zero effect from AC at all, at any level beyond about 60 worn ac. Literally nothing else counts or makes a difference (source, my naked except dagarn leg ranger takes the same damage as fully clothed to 1300ac, also takes identical damage to my 1000ac ranger)...
Every other class AC is godly, its borderline broken. But raid content is also broken. So beyond ToV trash there's almost no point sacrificing HP for anything if you can keep aggro. | ||

There are emergent soft caps specific to each mob- points after which no substantial improvements to tanking are made. Is 1300 vs 1320 ac going to impact mitigation when struck by a decaying skeleton? No but at low enough AC it will consistently hit for more- so at some point a soft cap for that mob was reached. This principle applies to all mobs, but using an extreme example to demonstrate which I believe we can all intuitively agree on (sorry no logs/vids supplied).

I was told by a well known and basically BiS knight that the 1100 and 1200 AC soft caps were noticeable when soloing. So during my time soloing in HS from 55-60 I made a point to pay attention to how well i was doing when under 1100 AC, over it, and even when i hit 1200 from buffs. The difference between 1099 and 1101 was actually noticeable, but I did not notice much difference of a low 1100's and just over 1200.
I would sacrifice some better hp gear if it got me over 1100 AC, felt right | ||
