I have added a link to Valenkosh's Glossary thread, as I feel it is a valuable thing for both new readers and old-hands.

Yes.

Wrong topic, you wanted ask a simple question.

Striker-level damage is defined rather tautologically: a character who does striker-level damage does as much proportional damage at level whatever as a somewhat generic striker does in the low-mid heroic range. In other words, in those levels a striker does about 30% standard monster HP damage on a hit, and can drop a standard from full to dead in a turn once every encounter or two. At later levels, it takes dedicated effort to maintain those numbers, because the damage scaling was very poor (due to a lack of playtesting at the higher tiers and a mistaken belief that 8-round encounters would be fun).

CharOp builds tend to beat the curve (sometimes quite dramatically) because, well, they can, but when we talk about striker-level damage, we're basically asking if the character in question has managed to keep up with the system math.

Ok, So I know that I am missing something here, but I'm starting to get frustrated. 

Building a battle cleric, and his innate AC is 15. Dex mod being 2. Lvl 6. 

If i equip chainmail his AC become 19. So i only get a +4. 

What exactly is the rule that dictates "Once your natural AC is X high then it is essentially pointless to use heavy armor."? 

Nothing I have found explains this very well, just stating that if I use light armor then I get to use my Dex or Int mod. 

Can somebody clear this up for me please. 

that works thanks. Just seems silly that you can build a character that ends up with lower AC when he is using better armor. Yeah you have to build that way but there just seems no way to build a character to utilize heavy armor.
