How do Barbarian Shamans and their toys hold up in Velious?

[pasi]

I brought this up on an earlier post, but you're going to reach the priest softcap for AC very quick in Velious. The Mischief armor has crazy AC, as does pretty much all raid loot, and kael armor.

The +12 AC or whatever it is not only means little with the softcap, but you're also not getting the 18 AC you could get from Bramblecoat from buying a JBBP (no you're not getting a Tunare belt anytime soon either since that bitch isn't gonna be itemized until way later).
