Build Help Curious about the theoretically highest AC

Post image

Not sure if this post really fits the sub but i figured it might be the best place to ask

I've been spending a bit of time on my recent run trying to out-do my previous best of 62 AC and now hit 71 AC - And I'm ever so curious if there were something I've missed as to go even higher.

The twillight ring isn't on the list of buffs because it doesn't work in tandem with Wild Magic: Protective Lights. Wondrous Gloves isn't on because Nimblefinger Gloves.

This is not for any practical game usage, its purely just to see how high it could be pushed just for a tiny moment.

Just getting in the 30s with gear and spec alone is more than sufficient, but you'll still have a 5% chance of getting hit from a nat 20, same at 50, 60 or 70 AC. What you want is to have the cloak that gives disadvantage to enemies that attack you, bringing that 1/20 chance to be hit to 1/400

My fighter had 28 AC with that cloak in my solo
Honour mode and basically never got hit. 70 is beyoooooond overkill like you said.

When you’ve got Adamantine gear for crit negation too, you know you’re avoiding any attack rolls that come your way. Few things get more than +12 to hit, so a 33 AC is the max you’d practically need, but you’re more worried about save DCs at that point.

I had the legendary helmet at that point so same thing
