EQEmulator Forums - Live AC Soft cap returns.

Came across this on realized it was a Rosetta Stone to figuring our what lives AC soft cap returns are. Below is the live data provided directly from Nodyn for the AA armor of wisdom that uses 'AC' spell effect. Different class types get different AA values for Armor of Wisdom but all classes reach an effective AC of 50 at AoW Lv5.

Therefore we can deduce the actual modifiers to the soft caps and what classes get them!

Ok hopefully this works. Here are the raw numbers. Each class *should* work out to 50 AC after running through the Softcap division, which varies by class, so the data varies by class:

Warrior
NAME AFFECTNAME BASE_EFFECT_1
Armor of Wisdom 1 AC 29
Armor of Wisdom 2 AC 58
Armor of Wisdom 3 AC 87
Armor of Wisdom 4 AC 116
Armor of Wisdom 5 AC 145

Cleric, Ranger, Monk, Bard
NAME AFFECTNAME BASE_EFFECT_1
Armor of Wisdom 1 AC 33
Armor of Wisdom 2 AC 66
Armor of Wisdom 3 AC 99
Armor of Wisdom 4 AC 132
Armor of Wisdom 5 AC 165

Paladin, Shadow Knight
NAME AFFECTNAME BASE_EFFECT_1
Armor of Wisdom 1 AC 31
Armor of Wisdom 2 AC 62
Armor of Wisdom 3 AC 93
Armor of Wisdom 4 AC 124
Armor of Wisdom 5 AC 155

Druid, Necromancer, Wizard, Enchanter, Mage
NAME AFFECTNAME BASE_EFFECT_1
Armor of Wisdom 1 AC 50
Armor of Wisdom 2 AC 100
Armor of Wisdom 3 AC 150
Armor of Wisdom 4 AC 200
Armor of Wisdom 5 AC 250

Rogue, Shaman, Beastlord, Berserker
NAME AFFECTNAME BASE_EFFECT_1
Armor of Wisdom 1 AC 40
Armor of Wisdom 2 AC 80
Armor of Wisdom 3 AC 120
Armor of Wisdom 4 AC 160
Armor of Wisdom 5 AC 200

Formula: %ReturnOverSoftCap = 50/AoW5

Warrior = 0.35 %
Cleric, Ranger, Monk, Bard = 0.30%
Paladin, Shadow Knight = 0.33%
Druid, Necromancer, Wizard, Enchanter, Mage = 0.20%
Rogue, Shaman, Beastlord, Berserker = 0.25%

Our current rules are not too far off. This is hard data though and we should consider using it.
