I'm curious if anybody else has ever played around with a sword+board tank? I've been building one for awhile now as a fun diversion from low-mp archon wizard farming runs, and have gotten to the point where I can revenge-tank up to mp4-6 with almost no fear of dying with no LoH or LS. This barb is slower than a turtle and not at all optimal/efficient, it's just something I'm doing for fun. What I'm curious about is how high people have gotten their defensive stats, if anybody has tried this?
Way back when snb was the only way to go (like v1.1) I had something like 10k armor 1050 all res, (1100 fire res) and 65k hp 900 loh, with around 45k or so dps. I personally didn't think it was that fun lol.
Here he is, in case anybody is curious:

Not a lot of gold spent on him yet, many items are self-found. Just a fun side diversion.
