Ive had Diablo 2 for a while now.
Ive also beaten the game about 5-6 times, and made it to hell difficulty only to know I stuffed my character up.
Knowing this got me off the game for a while, however recently i thought id give it another go, so I reintalled it
and began a game in LOD as a necromancer.

Until recently I was proud of al of my characters, that is until one of my friends told be that he found and used armours with 10,000+ defence!!!
Is this possible (without modding or downloading new items of backyard developer sites) and if so, how can i get such armours and where?
