The new AC number is completely off

[Ne]

I don't know how they calculate the new AC, but now it doesn't mean anything! I am a level 25 woodelf monk with about 97 AGI unbuffed. Before the patch, I got around 950 AC. After the patch, I got 2795 AC. I look around at other similar level guardians and paladins around me, and none of them seem to have higher AC than me. So I am happy and go to kill some of the green con mobs I had been killing for the last few days. Before the patch, they could barely touch me, after the patch, I am getting hit left and right like I am a guardian. The only difference is that I have less hp and I got hit with higher damage! A level 24 guardian with less than 2400 AC was doing better than me against the exact same mob.They need to come up with a new equation for their AC calculation!

<DIV>What color is your AC rating?  I ask this because my AC, when not putting Stance on at 28, is like 2750ish RED.  I put Stance on, AC goes up to 3150ish GREEN.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I logged on my Alt Mystic, and at 18, AC was 998 WHITE.   So from what I am gathering is that the color con of AC is also going to determine how often you get hit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Couple that with the sweeping AGI mechanics change and we are hurting a little.</DIV>

The color is green with stances 2795. If no brawler stance, the color is white 2755 or something like that. I think your red color is because you had dragon stance on, it subtract from your AC a great deal.

If you have a buff on that adds AC it turns green.If you have a buff on that removes AC it turns red.If you have no buff on it's white..

<DIV>Agreed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was in EL the other day.  I was soloing along side a level 29 Pali (I'm level 31 Monk) and the Pali's AC was 400 less than mine and he was able to solo level 35 (solo)  mobs much easier than I could.  I was taking far more damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If their goal is to create all fighter classes as equal tanks, they have to close the defensive gap between armor AC and our deflection/ parry skills.  Deflection/ parry is overrated in the AC value.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffcc00><STRONG>What should happen if they want fighter classes to tank equally:</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffcc00><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><U>Mitigation:</U></DIV> <DIV>attack1: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack2: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack3: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack4: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack5: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack6: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack7: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack8: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack9: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack10: 100</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>TOTAL DMG: 700</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><U>Avoidance:</U></DIV> <DIV>attack1: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack2: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack3: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack4: 400</DIV> <DIV>attack5: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack6: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack7: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack8: 300</DIV> <DIV>attack9: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack10: 0</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>TOTAL DMG: 700</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffcc00><STRONG>What is happening</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><U>Mitigation:</U></DIV> <DIV>attack1: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack2: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack3: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack4: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack5: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack6: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack7: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack8: 100</DIV> <DIV>attack9: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack10: 100</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>TOTAL DMG: 700</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><U>Avoidance:</U></DIV> <DIV>attack1: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack2: 300</DIV> <DIV>attack3: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack4: 700</DIV> <DIV>attack5: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack6: 400</DIV> <DIV>attack7: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack8: 400</DIV> <DIV>attack9: 0</DIV> <DIV>attack10: 0</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>TOTAL DMG: 1600</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
