Really depends on the build. Magblade makes do with cloak, shade, shield / Healing Ward. Hence 10K (phys) / 15K (spell, due to Breton) unbuffed. Magplar gets to 20K (phys) / 25K (spell) / 3K crit (in CP), in light armor via set bonuses and Protective jewelry, unbuffed. I prefer medium for my stamina characters, but sets like Fortified Brass, Pariah, and Armor Master have been staples.

My magplar unbuffed only gets 9k physical resist unbuffed and 22k spell resist
I would not have thought protective jewellery would increase on stat so much over another
