Dmg of weapons are since Ai (2003) are rising like hell but we still have the HardCap on our AC on 15000, while Softcap with 10000.
You start to rise dmg but forget the defensive Part that is a classic in any mmo.
A Profession that don't have good/strong evades / def have to equip AC's to protect a bit. But we still have since 2003 reached this soft cap. Who cares with around 13000 AC about the Engi +5k AC buff? Anyone.
Would be nice to see here a improvement of AC calculation.
My opinion: No cap at ACs. Who have AC's should also be able to use them and not only to see them as "a ignored part of Armor cause we are in cap anyway."
