All of the bonuses that give +20% AC from a source (shield or armour) stack btw, so its very pausible to get rediculously high AC.
Friend just showed me his 289 AC tank :3  never gets hit.  Ever.  Except on 20s Tongue

He may never get hit, but he may never hit back either...

I call bullshit on "never gets hit.  Ever.  Except on 20s"

Monster’s chance to hit: (Monster’s Attack Bonus + 10.5) / (Target’s Armor Class * 2)

pre-motu epic trash had ~100 to hit iirc, EE mobs in old epics got their CR raised compared to legacy ones, EE trash in newer content has even bigger CR.
with 150 to hit (which I doubt is the maximum mobs could have): 27.76% to get hit
even with lowly 70 to hit (Horoth is somewhere there) he gets hit 14% of time
Wasn't counting other sources of mitigation, realistically he will get hit less.
That AC may provide some decent mitigation (no idea what the mobs to hit is in U19+ content), but certainly not 95%.

mhm thats a cool formula, never seen it before.
But if thats the case he still nearly never gets hit with 289 AC

100 AC and PRR is very noticeable. Also very easy to get. Really isn't useless as people let on. Has to be tried to be believed.

In LD, sitting at 160ish ac / 200prr i get hit, but for very small amounts. Can easily wade into packs of EE mobs.

100 AC helps but only when your facing mobs that dont pack much of a punch imo, so I guess its OKish :3

If you take multiple enhancements that give % bonuses they all stack Cheesy  its pretty easy too Smiley

I'll get my friend to send me a link when I see him on again, I'm taking a bit of a break atm but Ill come back to this thread when I get it

So, ive been running this for a while now, probably not optimized like my old ac monk was but i can say that it is pretty awesome.

If you don't have 100ac / prr on a toon, you should definitely try it. I am substantially over these figures now and not really impacting DPS.

It is almost as godlike as the old ac monk was. There is quite a bit of stuff that does not work, doesn't work together and also a lot of stuff that works together that you wouldn't think would.


Mind providing an update and more details?

Tanks are useless, make a monk or something with monk splash, can easily get ac over 100.
For more, do martial pl, its worth it.

I think that perhaps you guys have something in your heads that isn't real. At no point did i say that i wanted to make a tank. I asked for advice on maxing defensive stats, such as AC, PRR, and of course intim.

There surely is somewhere a max intim breakdown, but i can't find it.

I have the obvious answers already, what i am looking for are particular instances where things do not work as intended or tricks that aren't obvious.

Races seem to offer not much at all. Defensively i think that Halfling offers the most with dodge. Dwarf offers about 5ac (with shield) and con to weapons but frankly i don't want to go that deep in a racial tree.

I would have thought that having as much AC/PRR/Dodge as possible without gimping DPS would be an obvious direction to go in with the state of the game as it is.

Well you want max intim, who the hell besides tank needs intim?
