Isn’t orb of the infinite void a shield? I assumed it was. Maybe I’m wrong.
Kurrat’s All in One Magician Guide on wiki has a couple of short parses tanking a couple of mastadons looking at about 630 vs 1330 AC and the low ac build takes about 50% more damage. Now, there may be a point of diminished returns where worn AC is basically squelching mob attk (and adding ac beyond that won’t really do much) but I suppose the question remains: when is that point reached? Is a shield helpful to reach it?
You’ll have to run your own experiments to know for sure.
