View Full Version : Should I use my last attunement slot for (eventual) 30AC?

So once again I'm doing some theorycrafting for my AL Sentinel Barbarian 5/Rogue X tank.

Since I've got decent access to belts of X giant strength, I can focus all my points into Dex and Con and get decent bare-chested AC.

Eventually:

Dex 22: +6
Con 22: +6
Shield +3: +5
Blessing of Protection +1

For a grand total of 28 AC just out of the gate.

But then I realized I could use my last attunement slot (Flame Tongue Rapier and Belt currently) for Bracers of armor, because this is one of the rare unarmored tank characters that I've built so far, for a grand total of 30AC.

... But enemies will of course have advantage to hit me as I'm recklessly attacking all the time.

What do you think, worth it?

Ah, I've just been informed that this isn't possible as the Bracers preclude the use of a shield as well.

How did you get to 22 DEX and CON in AL?

Max to 20 with ASIs and then Tomes and Manuals. Should all be doable by lvl 15.
