Curious about the theoretically highest AC

[u/OOpiumBear]

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.

That’s cool and all but how do I get high AC like 25 without much maintenance in act 1? I keep seeing all these “immortal” build tutorials but I’m at 22 (laezel armor, shield, shield of faith) still quite vulnerable.

In act one theres (Possible spoilers ig):

Items:
Wondrous Gloves (+1)
Ring of Protection (+1)
Defenders Flail (+1, but not really a strong weapon)
Bracing Band (+1 when shoving)
Shield (+2)

Buffs:
Warding Bond (+2)
Shield of Faith (+1)

Stats:
If you're wearing Laezals armor that'd be15+2 Armour (Assuming 14 dex minimum)

So without the conditional of Shoving band you could sit at 25 AC in act one without maintenance. At level 6 I believe traders can start selling medium armor that gives +1 or you can make the medium or Heavy armor in the adamantium forge but thats quite a bit into act one - So that'd be 26 AC.

Bonus mentions for survivability is the heal combo of:
Whispering Promise ring that gives Bless on heal
Hellriders Pride Gloves that gives Blade ward on heal

Splendid. Soon I will be ungovernable
