I would like to say that not only is this breastplate 40ac, it also has stats, and an uncanny appearance. The Bp also containts the proc of a component heal for 300pts...clickable for an eternity...When one is healing yourself for "free" time dosnt matter so much as efficiency...and as for the full suit...Resists arent the best to have, ac is key and deepwater will give you just that. Since the last patch, a paladin is now a secondary tank, Ac is god to us now...And this BP is the highest droppable.

40ac? I just bought an Underfoot Platemail Breastplate which is crafted for 18000pp(good deal). STATS : <51ac> 5sta 10wis 40hp 40mana Now why would i pay a ton more just for a looong casting click heal that i have to buy jaspers for? If i want to click heal myself anyways, i will use the helm for free...
Sadly it only clickable till you run out of jasper. Which is required to cast the spell off the BP..it's mana free..not componet free. Also, the cast time is tremendous..so unless you got ALOT of free time and your group dont mind sitting to wait for the paladin to right click heal himself for the next few minutes, it also basically useless.
AC isn't god....though most would have you believe that. It's nice to have more AC when your 20th level...at the level that your going to be using this BP...there is far more important things then A FEW more points of AC. Like saves and primary stats...and HP.
