That was Attack Rating. I got the formulas for it figured out almost exactly to match the client. But, the code for it was never implemented because we are calculating attack rating in 2 separate places for different parts of what it is supposed to do. The total isn't very useful for how we handle it in the code, so it isn't actually used other than for #showstats. I never really messed with AC. That is more of KLS' baby

Because that's what the client does?

Oh that I didn't know =)

Ok I see now. Basicly SOE gave all buffs a nice round +10, +20, +30 and so on values into the file and then used some weird modifier to nerf everything at once, rather than edit individual spells.

This however leads to an issue that all Ac buffs don't worth a crap

Looks like I will upping everything 5 times

But thank you for answering - I was worried it was something I broke

You mean you guys see the same AC value with #showstats as in the Titanium client? I don't so if you guys do, then it's probably yet another 64bit linux bug on my end. /sigh

I definitely don't get the same AC with #showstats. I used #showbuffs to figure out what the server thought our bonus spell AC was and compared it to what the client thought it should be. Matched up fine.

ok now you confusing me KLS.

My T-client and my #showstats report the same AC with or wihout buffs.

You telling me this is not how it suppose to be? and its bad?
