My favorite is summon berzerk warrior after berzerk warrior via iron horn of valhalla and recharge cheese. With the upgraded versions, the iron horn gives a guy with like 7/2 ApR, 2hsw +3, immune to regular stuff. Hes a real tank, but dies to anyone that can stun lock him, since his defense is rather lacking.

Also, who says the Kensai doesn't have PMW? Tack on UAI, I get a kensai with vhailor's and pmw/timestop/imphaste and unleash 9 ApR with pretty much unlimited time. Who the hell needs defense if they can't even move to hit you?

As for the barbarian, Check this:
White dragon scale, -2AC 50% Cold Res
Boots of North, 50% Cold Res
Helm of Rock, 25% res fir,ele,cld,acd,psn
Rauranch's, 50% crush
Defender of Easthaven, 20% crush,pierce,slash +1 AC
Barbarian innate, 20% phys
Belt/intertial barrier, 50% MagicD, 25% miss
Hardiness, 40% phys
Cloak of Reflect, 100% ele
Montolio, +1 AC/saves
Seldarine, +1 save 10% MR
RoP+3, +3 Ac/Saves
Gaxx, everyone knows this ring
Take a look at immunity to crushing weapons, veritable immunity to elemental attacks, 80% slash/pierce resist, 85 missile resist. Tack on Improved bhaalspawn power 4 and you get immunity to all 4, but that's a really long ways away. Improved hell tests gives 30% slashing resist, and Ritual gives yellow dragon armor with 50% pierce/missile. So again, is PMW all that necessary?

And what's going to pierce the -13 AC? Only a lot of specialized fighters, that's what. Remember the Barb's also got ilbratha's mirror image, a couple of skins from the gargoyle boots, imp haste from any number of bracers, cloaks, scrolls, and amulets.
