One option is to use the Dragonhide spell that offers 80% damage reduction for 30 seconds, essentially simulting the effects of reaching the 567 armour cap. It's entirely possible to reach the armour cap if you don't want to wear four armour pieces - if you're a mage for example, or if you just prefer the gentle caressing breeze afforded by a skirt. You'll never top this so as long as you're at the armour cap, 80% of damage inflicted on you will be blocked.
