View Full Version : AC Question

I need a little help squeezing one more AC out of my 14rgr/2monk. He hits 89 fully buffed (pally, recitation, inspire heroism, haste, shield wand) wearing Icy's and +8 bracers w/ a chattering ring and in CE mode. I think one more (90ac) means Suul can't touch him except on a 20 on elite iirc.
He has 36 dex: 18 base +2tome+4levels+4enh+2exceptional+6item
and 24 wis: 15 base+2tome+1enh+6 item
He has tempest and +4 ac insight shroud weapon as well as twd feat.
I know if I had a +3 dex tome I could take the last enhancement, but that dex tome isn't easy to pull, and I don't want to make a +1 exceptional weapon and take the enhancement. Furthermore, I don't want to use kamas and switch to monk stance for the +2 dex. So I am uncertain how to get one more AC. I want a sustainable solution, so house d pots or some other 20 sec. solution won't cut it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Madstone is not reliable either since a.) I cant ever seem to get the boots and b.) it doesnt proc when you aren't getting hit ( I suupose if I had like 10 pair it might be worthwhile) and c.) I can't use shield wands or rem. curse pots

Easiest way to do it is make your offhand min II have +2 exceptional wisdom. You lose a little DPS (none against suulo really).

I think this is the limit for mod 8 using this build as a base:
10 base
14 dex (assuming you got the tome)
8 armor
7 wis
5 protection
5 barkskin
5 paladin
5 combat expertise
4 insight
4 dodge (raiment)
4 bard
4 shield
3 dodge (ring)
3 favored
2 recitation
2 tempest
1 haste
1 ritual
1 dodge feat
1 TWD feat
1 halfling size
1 monk (does this +1 centered bonus still work no matter what? I haven't checked in a few weeks)
__________
91
What am I missing?
Edit: fixed a mistake with labels

not halfling, im an elf -- still need to dps to hold agro and dex bonus is only 13 (didnt start at 20 or have a +3 tome) so i guess you could get to 92 if you maxed dex at level 1

Yeah, so you must get that +3 tome in order to hit 90 it seems. But all of this is only valid for a couple of weeks.
