There are still returns over the softcap, they're just smaller. It's still a matter of tradeoffs. Which would you prefer, an improvement in survivability, even a marginal one, or +100 mana? To many of us, survivability impacts playstyle SO MUCH more than mana pool that the AC choice is worth making. AC vs. HP both impact survival, and that's what parsing and statistics are about, feeding those discussions is what threads like this one are for. Mostly, though, AC vs. HP hasn't been a real choice to make since Velious. Everything basically has both. Better gear has more of each.
