[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5576394, member: 2067"] It's mostly OK. Other defenses only lag about 2 behind AC on their low side (generally), and don't get your Proficiency Bonus, so they're basically a wash. If the AC tends to be high, you do a few things: CA, flanking, charge attacks, buff powers, high Prof bonus weapons, debuffs like dazing or blindness, etc. You can stack some ridiculous bonuses, and even more ridiculous penalties, since these usually stack. If you STILL find yourself having difficulty, well, D&D is a team game. You rely on your other party members to wallop that guy, and you work on one of the other 5 or so critters you're facing. ;) And if 90% of what your DM is using is soldier monsters with high ACs, then you're going to have bigger problems than whiffs (like a lot of grind).
