bg can get 1.6k tough, 1.5k after debuff which eats softcap offensive stat +200 offensive power, alongside ~150hp/sec WITHOUT bolstering anger. if you're looking to theorybuild a turtle for funsies bg is the way to go. ib's trick is stacking flat dmg resist and block which is more effective against destro

Well! New project detected, tyvm. I'll still level up the IB, I do love T3 and making alts, but thank you on this.

Max armor can be achieved by:

Helm: Sov off
Shoulders: Redeye
Body: Victorius
Gloves: Redeye
Boots: Redeye
Jewelry: 3 fleshrender + sentinel

With all armor talis (+tactic + guarded attack) you will get around 7k armor + 22% reduced armor pen. Roughly, 2% reduced armor pen = 180 armour, so you will get around 9k armor.

That should ensure that you always get quite close the max cap physical damage reduction (75%) if the attack does not ignore armor. And with Hardy Concession and Shield mastery you will be receiving around 5% of the damage of each physical damage attack. Of course, as noted, you will be vulnerable to magic damage and to guard damage (that can be only mitigated by block/parry).
Hope this helps!

Change boots to invader and use Redeye cloak to net 2% RAP and ~90 armor :)
