Hope this helps.

Somewhat.

I searched through some old threads myself and even saw this one you linked, but I wasn't sure how much has changed in the ten years (!!) since that post.

I guess I'm really just trying to figure out the practical benefits of stacking up AC/HP on a charming Druid, and if it will actually make a noticeable difference in survivability (also wondering if the shield AC bonus is still a thing or if an 35AC Orb of Infinite Void would be better).

My Druid now is mostly WIS/mana geared for quadding (and outdoor charming where it's easy to avoid getting hit). But I've been thinking of attempting some Kedge charming, so I'm wondering if it's worth beefing up with high AC stuff like Crystal Chitin, HP jewelry, SBS, etc...
