I just see so many Paladins who never swap gears :( there is no better enmity body than IR except Hydra though I don't think? So always useful. If we're talking purely magic def though, Valhalla is the best unless you have an Aegis.
Sorta depends on what else you are working with if Aegis will make IR better(I know if they have aegis assume the best cept maybe defending ring and minervas ring). (especially since the more -Magic dmg you get the more it will do kinda like haste while MDB will do less and less by %)
Now it really becomes an issue of hitting caps on -magic dmg and which slots to change out to stay near the cap will result in the highest MDB.
Now assuming no defending or minerva's ring but everything else for max -dmg or -magic dmg we can hit -46% magic dmg and -10% all from valahalla gear.
So if we take out body that would leave us 51% (none of the other peices give 1% using pimped gear and even getting only 1% even vs a almost 4 MDB is better at that. And you get 5 MAB.
However let's say you get rid of coral legs/feet instead still putting us at -51% magic dmg replace them with IR legs and Ataractic Solea you get 8 MDB not to mention a bit more hp.
