Heavy armor, shield, shield spell, extra ward HP, damage-on-hit abilities like fire shield all added up to some serious survivability. And warcaster lets you hit people trying to move past you with Hold Person or similar. Also, my DM was offering a custom cleric domain that included Armor of Agathys, which I've found to be hugely helpful... A high level Agathys with abjurer ward HP as a buffer has been outstanding.  Without that I'd probably consider swapping the one level of cleric for a level of warlock... You'll take an AC hit though. May not be worth it in the log run. Not sure which is actually preferable, since it's not a choice I had to make. You could get spammable mage armor via warlock though, which is great for the ward. Anyway, a wizard tank is an odd beast, but it's been a lot of fun. Hard to disagree with the standbys of battle master, paladin, and barbarian though.</blockquote>
