AC Bonuses (Stackables)

[Shamurai]

I've searched this here and didn't quite find what I needed.

I'm trying to maximize my gimped paladin cuz I just don't want to reroll her till I know more about the game..

So.. That being said I'm trying to maximize her AC cuz I sorta tank with her being that she has the highest AC of my small group of family and friends.

Currently she has +1 Sacred Plate (what a joke sacred sucks upgrading to like +5 plate in one more level) and she has a +4 Adamantine Shield

I also have the Paladin feat that gives her +2 AC for a short time (but it seems to bump her by +3 AC for some reason)

I usually use Defensive Fighting for +2 more AC .. now the hard part.. what pots buffs etc can I take to bump her up even more.

I notice some don't really stack with each other. I'm pretty sure Mage armor and Shield are useless.. Regular Shield of Faith seems so too.. but the +3 Shield of Faith pot (from House J) I think that helped.. anything else I can do for a few more points. I'm usually the last one standing in partial wipes but I'd like to really be better. I'm good at mashing the Intimidate button to draw the aggro but as I get better at that I'll really want the AC to take the beating.

Soo... what pots or buffs can I stack above and beyond what I've listed above?
Thanks in advance.

Barkskin potions from house J will give you an additional 3 ac

LOL never even tried barkskin as I thought I would be like Shield and Mage armor and only help those with NO or very little armor on hehe.. Im logged out. just outside that shop.. I'll pick up a batch of those for boss bashing! but will this stack with +3 shield of Faith?

and Prot evil don't help my AC but the bonus on saves is nice.. but isn't it overclassed by a Heroism pot?

Barkskin I believe is a natural armor bonus so you dont have to worry about it.

Haste will add a +1 dodge bonus to ac.

Click on the compendium link at the top of the page and you can search any potion to get a description. Same bonuses do not stack. Mage armor is an armor bonus and does not stack with actual armor. Shield spell is a shield bonus, useful if you do not have a shield but won't stack with an actual shield .

In the FORUMS LIST under the COMMUNITY group, click on the the USER-WRITTEN GAME AND STRATEGY GUIDES forum. Within that forum look for THE NEW DEFINITIVE AC BONUS THREAD, by IMPAQT.

I think that will help you.

Ooh thank you very much. That is more complex then I thought it would be..
Lemme see if I got this right then

~ I can get some AC benefit from my DEX (if I had a dex high enough) even though I'm in full plate?
~ Bracers can add to my AC even if I'm in armor and have a shield??
~ I'm a paladin does my Aura buff me as well??
~ What are Yugolth pots and when/ where/ how can I get my hands on them
~ Items of "Deflection" stack above others nice!

I don't have access to most of that elite kit so far but I can buy a few pots.. and upgrade my armor a bit I think (depending on the cost).

Now the real treat will be to see if it helps me stay alive longer.
