The potion glitches don't count! i'm talking purely no cheating and playing LEGIT!
Whats the absolute max armor rating number you've ever gotten? What level you were when you achieved it? And on what type of armor?
My fort smithing potions are at 127% -- and enchant potion is 32%. Doe's any one know if this is right ?? I don't pay to much attention to stats , I just try to take every thing in smithing, enchanting, and poitions to the limit. I'm at 55 LVL thief .
Actually you guys were right about the heavy armor skill. I just spent 5 perk points into juggernaunt and my armor rating boosted up all the way to 490!!!
I should've done this a long time ago! I think the fact i hadn't invested in heavy armor was the problem all along. Apparently the smithing tree alone will only take you so far.
It just may because there are 2 skills i noticed attached to the tree which boost you even further when wearing anything all heavy and a matching set! I'm already above the required level for adding these skills all i need is 2 more level ups to fill them both.

( With out potions ) Sorry bout that
No, potions are fine, i was talking about *GLITCH* potions like the ones created by restoration glitch potions. This is because those are game breakers not legitly earned.Guess I should really read this post better
567 displayed armor rating will only give you 80% physical damage resistance if you're wearing 4 pieces of armor. Each armor piece gives an addition 25 points of armor rating that doesn't show up in your displayed armor rating. For every piece of armor you don't wear, let's say for example a helmet because you like to see your character's face, you'll need an additional 25 points of displayed armor rating (592).
So does that mean the armor cap goes to 667 not 567? Sorry i'm really confused here.
If you always wear a full set of armor don't worry about understanding it. In that situation just concentrate on getting to 567. This is only important to understand if you don't wear a full set of armor on any of your characters and want them to hit the cap.
Gotcha. The problem with using a non-armor wearing character is the weakness factor, almost everything including wildlife can kill you in a single hit! It may look cool but not worth it unless you want a nearly impossible crazy challenge. I'm not even sure why they have non-armor clothes.
Yeah I feel yer pain. Since I also play WoW, I am used to seeing caps on damage reduction and diminishing returns and all that. So I google everything before raising armor and resistance levels (as far as magical resistance ) just to make sure I'm not going over the cap. Frigging math lol.
Yes ma'am
