What's a (ballpark) really high overall defense?
Holy shield, shout, all the tricks...

Or, rather, what's the highest defense you've achieved with a character.
(Indicate shrine / no shrine)

if i remember good, something about 42k def
e: it was my record ofc, and it isnt max

are etheral non indestructible non self repair items alowed?

Thanks for the info guys, keep it coming!

One of my palas reached about 70k with a little help of a barb.

no skill shrine
barb wc (~ 5lvl from perf)
all etheral item are selfrep
without defiance i have 120k def (i mean without my defiance. so i still have defiance from exile, but it's low)
only 15 def scs, and they are all low (~20def)
i don't have forty weapon (200edef)
i didn't stat all points in dex (gives edef)
but i precasted the cold armor
armor is prudence
helm rare ethself 18xed sock pul
grid
eth sand
tg
steelrend
1raven
1bk

everything is random on this char

i'm pretty sure 150k is possible with durable gear only.

eth/rep 200ed corona 2 x pu: 896 def
metalgrid: 350 def
perf ebug stone aa: 5265 def
forti wpn: 200% ed, lvl 15 ca (115% ed)
perf ebug exile vortex: 1818 def, lvl 16 defiance (220% ed)
200ed eth ogres: 324 def, 20dex
200ed eth colossus gordl: 324 def
perf eth marrows: 306 def, 17 dex
blood ring: 25 str, 15dex
blood ring: 25 str, 15dex
19 * 30 def 5 dex lc = 570 def, 95 dex
anni/torch: 40 dex

hs ed (precast eq + synergy): 1.150
3 pc circ
3 pc amu
cta
6 hs scepter
eni

9 x pc sk

final dex: 20 + 20 + 17 + 15 + 15 + 95 + 40 + 99 * 5 - (222 - 25 - 40 - 25 - 25) = 627
627/4 = 156

base def: 156 + 896 + 350 + 5265 + 1818 + 324 + 324 + 306 + 570 = 10.009

ed bonuses: 200 + 115 + 220 + 1.150 + 640 (shout) + 100(shrine) = 2425

25,25 * 10009 = 252.727

Def can get pretty high.

e: you can only have 18 lcs, so it's a little bit lower.
