Actually AC is not something I valued as highly as the others. I swapped out a partial plate mail with 68 AC for a black dragon armour with around 35 because of the resist and the acid breath.

I use beserk strength before every fight to increase my to hit, but fear resistance is also really useful. I'm of the school that favours damage over defence.
