There shouldn't be much difference between 40 and 70 vit, unless the specific monsters stun a lot. And if they do, you'd need to be in the 80's / 90's range to be immune, and be near their base level.
Banding requires at least one other RG (also with banding) and I doubt anyone really gets Banding. I think most RGs usually just do a skill reset at endgame to get Banding if they're planning to go with that build.
Neutral resist, get something raydric carded. Other items would be like 3D glasses, palace guard cap, immune shield, deviling card. But if you're wearing WPH + Alarm Mask, you can't wear other neutral resist gear. If you're using lots of racial reduction shields, you probably won't put all of them in high upgraded immune shields either. So instead of stacking neutral resist, you might have to just use some regular racial reduction card.
The basic math would be, with a +9 HBP, it's 30% neutral reduction. With a racial reduction card it's 30% on that race. That would mean you take 70% damage, then another 70% from that, resulting in you taking only (0.7 * 0.7 = 0.49) 49% damage.
You can swap to a fortune sword for a bit of perfect dodge for a bit more reduction normally too.
Pure tank builds would mean you're only good for tanking within a TI party and you won't be good at soloing. Solo build would mean you will try to get shield spell level 1 ASAP.
