It is a fact. The problem is that you are saying you take off ARMOR to get
the weight down. The AC benefit from some armor outweighs the drawbacks
from weight. The weight factor becomes more apparent at later levels also.
If you notice your AC fluctuating as you loot your enemies, that is the
problem. Try filling your inventory with swords, staffs and maces you loot
from MOBs and then sell them all and notice the swing in your AC.

Subject: [EQ-Monks] Pls explain AC

From: "Steve Hamner" <shamner@...>

I am not sure where anyone got the 15 weight is the best for monks...can
someone please explain this...My AC does not change when i drop down to or
below 15, if anything it gets worse as I take my patchwork armor off. I
can't believe this nonsense about the super low weight unless you are
talking about encumbering weight. I know monks are suppose to use less than
others but I can't go on a huge hunting spree and not carry something back
to sell. Or should I be investing in items instead? Its a little hard to
invest in items on the PVP server since everyone is out to get you hehe.
Suggestions for eq would be most appriciated...where to buy cost? Thanks
