What's the absolute best that Fullplate can be now?

Valdus

Legendary Smith, maxed out everything, etc. The help file says you can have a chance to increase the stats on an item.

What does that translate into?

Antonius

Current base stats are 90/90, based on what we saw before ARMOURLIST was fixed. As far as I recall, Sarapis said it's a max of three additional stat points, with no more than two going on any one stat. So 92/91 or 91/92 would be the max, I suspect.

I think that translates to 52/51 or 51/52 (since you can't see decimals). Then add an additional 4% from runes as a Runewarden.

Yeah, the base is 90/90 (since you can't see the actual stats of armour any more, that's 51/51 in the current display), and forging can add up to +2/+1 or +1/+2, then runes can add +7/+7. So the max with runes is 99/98 or 98/99 (in the current display, probably 56/56 either way), max without runes is 92/91 or 91/92 (probably 52/52 either way).

How much damage reduction would that give though? best guess acceptable.

0%-40%, depending on the attack used (and for weapon attacks, the damage stat of the weapon) and your max health.
