Interesting...

I'm not sure what the cap is. I'm not sure if Akselo is even close to the cap. But maybe this change will make a difference. I know that Aks can't take very many hits without getting squashed. Some days it feels like he takes damage as if I were playing my ranger.

Well higher AC only increases the likelihood of taking a hit in a mob's minimum hit range and lowers the chance of taking a maximum hit.

So you will really only see this as a noticable change on mobs with a large difference between their minimum and maximum hits and with noticeably higher AC.

i.e. Riftseekers ... min hit aroud 300 max hit aroud 1200.

When I was 1900 AC I took a lot of hits for 1200 ... now at 2100 AC I take a lot more 300 hits and far fewer 1200 hits.

Hopefully the change will be semi-noticable for you all Smile

Thanks for the explaination Phin. That makes alot more sense now.

For those times when you're in a bad pickup group, as the team's puller, and the tank dallies to strip the mob off you...those smaller hits may make a difference.

I dont' think I'm anywhere close to that AC range though. Something I'll work on.

Thanks again.
