Considering all 8 of my melees stand between 50 to 60 AC unbuffed, I'd say I have a very, very good idea of what I'm speaking of.
Displacement negates 50% of physical hits on everything in the game but a few boss mobs ( which no caster is going to be meleeing on a regular basis ). If you think that your 53 AC is negating 50% or greater ( because anything less than that makes it wasted effort on a caster ) of the mobs attacks anywhere in content in Giant Hold and beyond, on normal, then I want some of what you've been smoking.

Following the advice from posters on my thread here I remained pure wizard, and finally got the next level and Wall of Flame, etc. Since I've only solo'd I can say that Wall of Flame has made a great difference. And having two scorching rays makes it much harder hitting.
Thanks for the advice all.
