It's not that crazy. A lvl 15 druid with items can do it with ease. It gets even better if you have a bard - War Chant gives +10% to physical resistances as well as regeneration. Don't forget to cast multiple Static Charges before shifting.

75% from water elemental shapechange
5% from Clasp of Bron's Cloak (available from Orrick)
15% from Studded Leather of Resistance (random, multiple spots)
50% from Bone Marrow Belt (random)
15% from Great Shield +3 (random, multiple spots) or 10% from Tiernon's Shield

With a bard, you can get 100% resistance on a high level druid from non-random items (water elemental shapechange, War Chant, Clasp, and Tiernon's Shield).

Edit: note that a damage resistance over 100% (max possible is 127%) lets you regenerate if hit for enough damage by that damage type (e.g. a damage resistance of 110% gives back 1 HP if hit for what would normally be 10 damage).

Another way to do it with a druid is to summon Shambling Mounds with the 7th lvl spell Stalker - they, as well as some elementals, have a little slashing resistance (I think shamblers do anyway - I KNOW they are resistant to blunt damage).

They are undead, so a very high level paladin or cleric can turn or destroy them. If you turn them successfully, focus fire with missile weapons. If you are running out of ammo, use Spiritual Hammer or Mordenkainen's Sword.

If you don't have a druid and your turning skill is too weak, you have to fall back on the tried and true - buff one character's AC to the max, use multiple summons, use spelltraps, use AoE damage, and focus-fire on the injured.
