STR/uni-tank WarChanter
6 attacks per round thanks to WarChanter haste
dom, iof, gird epics
+19% 12/- physical pre-demi
level 60 song + curse(including +15 unresistable sonic damage per hit)
can use any light armor and small/large shield and still maintain 75% conceal (more after illusion tome).
Stats @ 60 pre-demi:
90AB, 134AC, 75% conceal, 64f, 67r, 63w saves at level 60 pre-demi and without +14 gear.
With +14str/dex AC increases to 136 and AB increases by +1.
Stats @ 2xdemi:
93AB, 141AC* and 68f, 71r, 67w saves at 2xdemi with +14 str/dex gear and asmo deflection artifact.
*or swap 8 great dex for great str in LLs for 97AB and 137AC.
The lowish AB is a shame, but being uni means you can get others up with PT2 to make up for your lack of UUU.

AC:
light/small shield pre-demi:
10 base
20 natural (with +14 str item or 1xdemi or str arti)...30
16+3 armor...49
14+2 or 15+1 large/small shield*...65 *potentially higher with randomization
17 deflection...82
20 dodge...102
4 girding...106
2 armor skin...108
12 tumble...120
15 dex...135
1 craft armor...136
+3 asmo deflection arti=139
+4 dex with 2xdemi = 141
With 2xdemi i would probably swap either 4 or 8 dex to str for more AB and use the asmo belt to improve effective dex vs KD checks.
This would effectively lower your AC to 139 or 137 and raise your AB to 95 or 97 respectively.
Gear:
Bit tricky to get right as you'll want +14str and dex pre-demi to help max AB/AC, plus cover immunities and resists as much as possible. A stack of Eternal Preservation belts for crit immune wouldn't be a bad idea to increase survivability for tough spawns/bosses.
Failing that there's the PoM belt that gives 127 parry for 5 turns.
Soul Mirror helm from thids is great as it has spell slots, +12 cha and dex and useful skills (especially +20 perform). Quickslotting immo bracers or Masterful Performance bracers to swap out immediately before using song is a good idea to make sure you have maxed perform before singing.
Any light armor with 3 base ac and +16 armor bonus ac is good. I'm using Swamp Devil Hide (from Min.) for extra acid immune and elemental resists (except for elec).
There are some nice small and large shields, so some flexibility there... I've gone for Kralenai's Dinner Plate as it covers the elec resist that Swamp Devil Hide lacks.
I've gone for Gauntlets of Transposed Energy (phys resist), Ectoplasmic Weave (exo resist), Gravity Slain with +14str/dex, Chain of the Infernal Machine (50% 50/- fire) and Snowshoes of Stygia (50% 50/- cold) which all fits together quite well, but leaves you lacking Poison immunity, which is leaves you vulnerable to quite a few special attacks in hells and abyss... a CON artifact might be a good idea for that reason, depends on how good your gear set-up is though.
