Yes, thats the damage mitigation componet of AC.. I've been trying to come up with an intelligent formula to calculate the amount of damage mitigated, but not having alot of success.. Thinking should take into account level as well, say an AC of 10 at first level should equate to a 10% damage reduction, but how do you handle it all the way to level 65?
I wish I had excel installed at home, I could plot a few formulas and look at the curves and try to find a least sqaures fit function to some damage data off live!
Combat with a mob naked vs. combat with a mob at varying armor levels.. .Plot all the points, do a best fit line, then compare the different curves and determine a good best fit equation...
If anyone has any good ideas, or knows of a good formula, please pipe up..
