SK in my guild was giving me a hard time today because I have a 30 AC aug in my Third Eye Shield instead of a 35 AC aug in it. I'm more or less familiar with all the discussion about shields and AC soft cap, etc., so I just decided to do an experiment. I wanted to see exactly what kind of impact on my total AC there would be by adding another 5 AC to my shield.
AC with 30AC aug in shield: 6598
AC with 35AC aug in shield: 6598
I remember at lower levels you always put your highest AC aug in your shield because of the soft cap. But clearly here the additional 5 AC in the shield added nothing to my total AC. Does anyone know at what point it stops making a difference?
