Armor Class Enhancements

[Kazoo]

So far my 19th level Rogue can get the following Armor Class bonuses:

Halfling size +1
Dexterity Bonus +8
Boots of Speed +4 Haste Bonus
Bracers of Armor +7
Shield Wand +7 Cover Bonus
Barkskin Wand (CL 11) +5 Natural Armor
Shield of Faith Wand (CL 18) +5 Deflection Bonus

Any ideas on how to increase it more?

A luckstone would be good for another +1.

A dirty trick for two-weapon rogues is to get a dagger +5 defender for the off hand. That would be good for another 5.

You have not mentioned any AC increasing feats, though...

I might start pursuing other avenues of defense, such as blur, displacement, etc.

There are also insight bonuses.

A Luckstone doesn't increase AC.

You could seek out +5 Celestial chain for a +10 armor bonus instead of bracers +7. Also, with the chain, you could use an Animated +5 shield for another +7. Magic Vestment can substitute for the +5 enhancement bonus.

Is it really nessisary? Are you getting hit that much with a 47 ac? i remember that I thought my 15 lvl Paladin with a 25 ac was golden, until the party ended up fighting a 20th lvl Fighter with magics and In the first two rounds I was almost killed.

Rogue using an animated shield

That's a good idea, but to use an animated shield properly, would you have to have Shield Proficiency?

About a few months ago I would say my former 26 AC was adequate, until the DM's started classing the monsters, and our campaign went to Average Hit Points for all Characters. Then I found I was running for Heals alot. At level 19 we are fighting multiple giants and starting on bigger dragons, as well as the ever lovable Demons and Devils, so I want to beef up as much as I can, especially before hitting those Epic levels.
