SKs: Iksar and their AC bonus. Ghost, or Real

[gobbosnobbo]

I've been debating with people lately, trying to get to the bottom of which race will be superior in the expansion for Shadow Knights.

A lot of talk has been centered around Greenmist, and how Iksars aren't restricted by plate gear in the next expansion. However, the later of the topics has hinged on whether or not Iksar race AC bonus actually exists, or whether it simply buffs the number on your character stat screen without having any real benefit to mitigation.

We've also debated as to what kind of AC the iksar bonus is, and whether or not it counts towards the softcap, or if it is considered avoidance AC and therefore is exempt.

I've heard players even go as far as to say that AC bonus for iksar class has never worked, not here, or on live, and will not work during the velious expansion either.

So I've come to the great pantheon of Shadow Knights, to seek knowledge from those who better remember the era than I do.
