EV is much better for a lot of the game because of attacks with portions that partially or completely ignore AC. The following completely ignore AC, but check EV:
- Poison (Adder, Mamba, Ant, Spider, Enemies with Weapons of Venom, Needles)
- AF_FIRE (Fire Elemental)
- AF_COLD (Ice Beast, Ice Demon, Ice Fiend)
- Draining (Wights, Enemies with Weapons of Draining)
- Distortion (Enemies with Distortion Weapons, Spatial Maelstroms)
- Enemy Bolt Spells (Including Dragon Breath Weapons and the weaker "Throw Flame/Frost")
There are more...putting AC over EV is something I'd only recommend for Undead (since you are immune to half of those).
I'm beginning to feel like a Cat God! Felid streaks: {FeVM^Sif Muna, FeWn^Dithmenos, FeAr^Pakellas}, {FeEE^Ashenzari, FeEn^Gozag, FeNe^Sif Muna, FeAE^Vehumet...(ongoing)}
