[QUOTE=Xandax]Well - I wouldn't personally count expertise AC bonus into such equations, because it requiers the feat to be activated, and thus dosen't apply when spellcasting (And then what is the point of a high level spell caster :D ), other types of fightning etc.[/QUOTE]

Are you sure that the bonus dissappears? I've used it for countless duels, but then again most are pretty much dead by the time they get to me :p .

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]What if you do Wizard/palemaster, for the purpose of getting AC?[/QUOTE]

Yep, this is also a very high AC build, but I chose to Sorc since I'm much more familiar with them (and they are better duellers). IIRC even better is Wiz/Monk/Druid which gives Dragon Form, or Wiz/PM/Monk which is basically what you suggested.

I tried with my mage, and it did not work.

:( Bioware must have patched that out too. In that case the best build for being absolutely untouchable is Bard 14/RDD 10/Pale 16. Good AC, but it's immunity crits + 50/+20 DR that's great. That kinda counts as a caster doesn't it? I belive that the absolute maximin damage a character can deal in a single attack (non crit) is 68 minimum which can be very easily negated through items.

How high AC can you get as a Monk 25/wizard 5/palemaster 10?

I though it might be a good build since you get immunity to Crit, Mind affecting, paralysis and stun.

Edit: I wonder if we have to ressurect a old thread or start a new one :confused:

Well it's close enough to the topic :p .

The biggest flaw I see right off is not taking 16 PM. 16 PM will give you Epic Spells, and Warding as I have so often touted is magnificent with Immunity Criticals.

I'll do a full calculation tomorrow but right now my head hurts from too much Diablo and Battle for Middle Earth :( .
