The Tankazon

[Walkiry]

How about AC?  When does the AC roll come in?

And, would it be feasible to try for a high-AC tankazon (corpsemourne or the like, high-def sheild (storm?), etc)?

Well, the thing with AC is that if you go for it, you'll have to go all the way to the highest possible defense through all your equipment. That means big Strength investment, means either lower life or lower dex (a.k.a. lower block nad bad to-hit).

With ignore target's defense you can skip part of that dexterity, accept a lower block rate and hope the AC makes up for it. AC is always checked first.

You'll have to stay close to the monster level for best results too.
