15k+ is possible without doing anything crazy if you are using a light + plate mix with maxed stats. I had 15.2k defense without temporary items, and bumped it up to 16.6 with event items and doubling up on the AP shop Epaulet (buy one on Saturday or Sunday, then buy another after the reset on Monday. There is also an AP necklace with 300 defense). I use an Explorer's Erg Core Brooch, though, which most people stopped running. 15k defense still hurts a lot, 16.6k is a bit better but still liable to get you comboed to death.
