Even with maxed body armour expert, full masteries and hardplate set augmenteds. The highest legit physical def still does not provide 100% physical damage reduction, nor even it is gonna happen with other two, heat and chemical. You could achieve something as high as 95%++ damage reduction for physical only. But so far no way to achieve 100% damage reduc after mastery update without hacks since body armour expert now counted from armor base instead augmented value.
