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

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!
