In order to match what a defender does with the best armor, the striker has to max out a stat.The best heavy armor at max level: AC + 14 (14)The best light armor and dex mod at max level: AC + 14 (9+5)And, since all strikers have dex or int as a main stat, this option is available to all of them.I'm guessing that this is the formula they used.Keep in mind all classes can use the same shields (defenders automatically, strikers if they blow 2 feats). Also keep in mind that all classes that meet the requirements can use the same feats, and you will find that all classes have the same endgame AC. The difference is that defenders can achieve that by spending only one or two feats and without having to balance stats.What defenders have that strikers don't (to the same extent) are more hit points and powers that focus on defense. Keep in mind that a striker that maxes out a dex/int stat WILL NOT have a high constitution score.</blockquote>
