AP Brackets Vary Widely:
You reach your first AP Bracket at 100 AP, when you receive 5 extra AP. The next AP bracket is at 140, when you get another 5 AP. This pattern does not last long. You gain anywhere from 4 to 21 AP by reaching other AP Brackets. The biggest jump is at 265, when you get 21 bonus AP. After 269 AP, you start getting diminishing returns. The next bonus after 269 (273) only gives 5 AP.
Do AP Brackets Really Matter?
21 additional AP can give a huge advantage in PVP. This can make a big difference with classes that typically struggle before reaching their AP brackets. It can help you kill other players even without CC for some classes. (Dark Knight, Berserker)

DP Brackets?
AP Brackets usually get all the attention, but DP Brackets are important as well if and when you do get hit. In our example gear image showing 265 AP, we see they also have 319 DP. That means they would get a Damage Reduction of 16%! This is one PVP opponent, I wouldn’t want to tango with if I were at substantially lower AP and DP Brackets.
