As someone once pointed out, you die when you run out of HP, not when you run out of AC.
However, a tank with 1500AC and 10,000HP will die much faster from a hard hitting mob than a tank with say 2200AC and 8,000HP.
Always, always, always go for AC over hp unless it's some ludicrous amount (like 3AC or 100HP).
My baby SK has a very lobsided AC to HP ratio. People tell me there's no way a level 43 SK with 1890HP unbuffed can straight up tank yellow con's.....I've proved those people wrong and attribute that due to having nearly 1100AC.....I only had self buffs and didn't use harm touch.
Don't take my word for it. Head over to
The Steel Warrior or
ShadowKnight.org and ask the real experts on this subject.
