My pally has pretty good DPS with KotC build and holy greatsword but the ac is in the lower 30s unbuffed.
People talk about 40-50 AC but there's nothing on the auction house or any items I can have that stacks better than +5 Fullplate of whatever (adamantine just to lower the damage) and necklace with +5 protection bonus.

So how do you survive with a 2hander as your first toon?
