Whats everyone's AC at for your tanks around level 7-8

[Augustus]

Just trying to gauge myself with my peers. I'm level 7 playing on core and I am not sure if I should pick up shield wall on my two tanks, Seelah and Camilla. With a few basic buffs their AC is 33 and 31 respectively. I feel like I may be doing something wrong? I think I heard other people have theirs much higher. However I did take feat outflank on them two and wolgin which may be why it's lower. Or it may not be i'm not sure.

What are your front liners sitting at?

[Viper]

should be 27-32. YOur AC is fine.

Ideally you want your main tank to only be hit on 20s by most monsters. At level 2 I have my MC, Camellia, and Seelah at 25.

[Squid Game Foofoo]

Seelah is at 28 for mine.

Camilla - Camilla can reach around 32 unbuffed AC in act 1.

Iceplant - 2 AC
Icy Protector - 2 AC
Lady Callandra's Chainshirt -11 AC
Belt of Dexterity - 1 AC
Ring of Protection - 1 AC
Mithral Heavy Shield - 4 AC
Dodge - 1 AC

Then add in buffs such as:

Defensive Stance - 3 AC
Barkskin - 2 AC

You can easily reach 37+ which is more than enough for act 1.

In act 2 you have to rely more on debuffs and buffs to get more effective AC and even then most of the damage you'll take is more from spells than melee attacks.

38 or so before fighting defensively for my main tank, 32 for my offtank. Tower shield specialist. This is also with zero buffs, I don't waste a lot of time optimizing that sort of thing if I can help it :D

I'm well into Act 2, about to enter Drezen soon, and I haven't seen a single good buckler. Wtf??? Did I miss one somewhere or did Owlcat just not supply any? it took forever to find a magical rapier too...

lvl 7 45 AC Lann, 36 Camelia, 40 AC my str based main monk.

[FlashXAron ☕ (Alex)]

since 5 levels around AC39 without buffs , when I got the +3 stuff, nothing has changed ... waiting for the +5 gear ... neglected a little bit AC the last 5 levels, as WILL savingthrows are more important , or I would have to fight always against my own main

I was around 40AC for my main tank (which was my druid's boar...) and then 35 on Seelah. But what you actually need just really depends on the difficulty you're playing. Your fine unless you're playing one of the harder difficulties.

The best buckler you can get in act 2 is a +2. There is only 1 unique rapier in act 2 that I've found so far.

[XartaX]

At the very beginning of act 2 my tank had 45 AC

Looking at this I wonder if taking 2 levels of Instinctual Warrior might be the best thing you could take for Camillia cause you get uncanny dodge(No flat footed), wis to AC, can use shields, and make use of Mage Armor for Mythic Mage Armor and wis to initiative.

Hope you can keep that trend up and have over 60AC in Act V, because some of those enemies have stupid stuff like +50 BAB.

I picked up two named bucklers in Act 2.
Deceiving Facade (+1, makes mirror images)
Eluding Facade (+2, +2 more vs Two handed weapons)
And your camp vendor sells simple +1 bucklers.

All of which is good since both my cavalier and Camellia are both buckler/rapier people.

Well I have 57 AC at the end of act 3, so yes (no spell buffs):
