Subject: RE: [eqbards] Calculating AC


And how does what I posted contradict that in anyway? Also after 100 stats
start suffering from the diminishing returns. I see no reason to doubt the
fact that AC and Atk are composite numbers. Since VI has stated several
times that they are :)

Abashi, no offense, is full of crap. A GREAT deal of analasys has gone into
AC by players. All you have to do is equip a peice of chainmail with 5ac
then equip a 5 agi item
the 5ac item will add more than 12ac to your ac at level 34 whereas at level
34 with a 110 agi your ac will go up MAYBE 2 points.

There is no "straight" formula, but generally speaking, after about 100 agi,
it's better to go with AC before AGI
