Max Disable device?

As the title, What's the Max disable device needed and what is the Max disable device reachable?

Trap Disable DC, base values, generally scale with a quest's set level albeit there can be occasional outliers or bugged values. Legendary Vision of Destruction (Elite), which has high "outlier" values, likely has the highest Trap DCs within the game. Requiring a Modified Disable Device roll of: 116.

I'm not going to bother calculating what the highest Disable Device skill; you can theoretically achieve via (miscellaneous) boosts, and other things, as that'd only give you an overkill value anyway.

I didn't compute the max possible, but my int assassin has a standing unbuffed 116 disable and 124 search outside of reaper mode with a search and disable +19 augment and only one rank of technician and without skill mastery in shadowdancer. I don't have any enhancements set to boost skills other than +3 search from morninglord.

So not looking at every bonus and just focusing on the low-hanging fruit add these:

+3 Highly Skilled - Harper
+3 Mechanics - Mechanic
+4 - Two more ranks of Technician in Shadowdancer
+1 - Skill Mastery -Shadowdancer
+1 - +20 swap item instead of +19 augment
+10 - +10 insightful swap item
+7 - Thieves Tools
+1 - Yugo potion
+1 - Remnant Potion
+? - Bard Buffs (not uncommon in raiding for VOD)

There are also artifact bonuses from at least two sets that I know of for search and disable.

So without working too hard getting to the mid 140s is do-able for an int build and a first-lifer can theoretically disable every trap in the game with gear, tomes, swap items, etc.

Thanks to you both!

Favored Souls are also good at raising skills. Have them cast Prayer on you (luck bonus) and Hope for Inspiration (sacred bonus).

About 115 is good enough for everything, and you can reach it with 1 rank and an intelligence skills LGS item on a developed character. About 80 lockpick is also good enough for everything, and you can also reach it with 1 rank and a dexterity skills LGS item on a developed character.
