How to get -800 ac?

There's plenty of non-rare, high AC stuff.

Yes there is. I can attain -700ish, with the right race/class as a moderate. But if I do not seek RP rewards or a cabal, I never get to -800.

And that is using jewelry, lamps, floaters, and weapon sockets. But, I am getting closer all the time.

That said, I agree with @f0xx. While I can seek the -800, I fair better in battle with -600, decent saves, and H/D.

Yeah but your speaking from the point of view as a warrior. Mages don't need H/D and Saves as much as Melee class. Melee's can go without high AC because they have multiple defenses like shield, parry, dodge, two handed, first and second parry.

Get fully dispelled as a mage against a necromancer. You might just change your mind about saves not being as important to a mage as they are to a melee.

Saves are a universal necessity.  

If you are vulnerable to poison, plague, blind, dispel etc etc.  Then it doesnt matter how much ac you have.

Saves mean nothing. Stack hit/dam high enough and casters/communers won't have time to cast them on you before they die. This is how I've dressed all of my rangers and warriors.

With the change to opening rounds with spells , that may not work out so well anymore.

If you're not first, you're last. Just make sure you open up combat before they do.

So that's how I almost killed your Ogre Avatar Courael in the summer of 2013. If it wasn't for Ryvin Sader just standing there preventing me from using area spells, I would have.
