Editing AC Softcaps by Class

Player mitigation AC on TAKP is subject to soft caps. See [[Calculating Your Mitigation AC]] for how mitigation AC is calculated. Here are the softcaps for each class. They're taken from the last open TAKP source, which took them in turn from a Mac client decompile.

== Notes: ==


1. Shields directly increase AC soft caps. A knight with a 55 AC shield, for example, has an AC soft cap of 458. A wizard with a 35 AC shield has a soft cap of 385.

2. These numbers do not include AAs. The Combat Stability / Innate Defense line of AAs will (in Luclin / PoP) introduce soft cap multipliers. The maximum multiplier on TAKP in PoP will be 127%, giving a max-AA warrior a soft cap of 546.
