Without bonus from Honor you need about 67% from chivalry to reach the damage cap.

After casting EOO you have to hit a monster to see real bonus %. At 84 chivalry the bonus is 50%.
To the OP play style is very much an opinion of works best for that inividual wether its the type of armour or skill set used. Since you have a simalar skill set to what I have been using I will tell you what I have been using.
Most of my armour I made by my crafters/imbuer and this was accomplised at the time when imbueing was introduced into the game. So i'm sure there are better pieces out there now such as brittle legandary pieces. Anyway I changed my guy from human to elf to take advantage of the bonus of makingwoodland armour which is then imbued with heartwood to have a chance at HCI or DI being applied. This took for ever to accomplish and i destroyed a lot of peices try to enhance but it was a challenge I was willing to take. This was before the had the tool you could buy to guarentee them from breaking. In any event the woodland armour gave me alot of flexiabilty as far as adding str dex, and mana and LMC to the armour and fitting resist in was like a puzzle to solve. I also placed skill properties str inc etc on my ring/bracelet. Along with buying the normal xtra's that most people use like the mace and shield glasses.I was able to accomplish these numbers may not be the best but they work and I am still trying to replace a ring i am currently using if i can find one with 10 ssi, 10 di, str and dex inc plus some skills i use. Not asking to much but I have found antigue ones but clean ones brittle are hard to find.
Anyway this is what i use if it helps you any great.
Str 143 HP 146 use purple pedal to increase +5 Dex 150 Stam 190 Int 24 Mana 76
HCI 43 but once I replace a couple heartwood pieces will be 45 just lack of time really
DCI 45 could be lower and higher resists but time element and the differance to me is not a big deal
LMC 40
SSI is just 10 but with high stam and fast weapon (bladed staff) and use devine fury when needed
DI is just 40 but I add 50 to weapon, hope to get a ring that could add the 10 more but not a deal breaker.
Resists are 70, 70,67,70,75
Ok temp plate varies depending on what I am fighting but this is the one I use most often.
Parry 60
Sword 120
Tactics 120
Bushido 120
Chivarly 120
Anat. 120
Resist 105 this I tend to change depending on what i'm fighting, like Necro toying with idea of Mystic or one of the new skills but have to investigate further
Bottom line for me typr of armour, ring/bracelet combo and skill sets and getting it to all come togather is a challenge. BTW I once killed a paragon balron like you did but this was like 5 years ago. What a battle took me like over 30 minutes the darn thing kept healing itself and redline me countless times, was a blast of a time. Tried a paragon ancient wyrm once LOL i was toasted and gave up that idea. There are some green colored balron type mobs on an island in the Ter Muer region east of the City and those are pretty difficult to kill. I Tried once but ran out of time, I have to go back and see if I can kill them they were pretty powerfull.
Good luck but I would not be overly concerned on having the best set up possible.

Hm, I must find this place when I have time, hope it's on Atlantic. Sounds like a good place for a bard.
Ok so I just went back Lord God to check where the spot is for the balrog type spawn. They are actually South of the Royal City the co ordinates to the sparkle gate to the island where they are is 164 North by 47 West. They are actually blue and yellow in color and carry the name Minion of Scelest, it's been awhile since the last time I was there. Since I have never killed one I have no idea if the loot is decent or if they carry treasure maps. I never see any players there during the times I have visited, but would imagine that they exist on all shards. Unless the EM on our shard placed them there and never removed them, but I plan on going back killing some once I get back up to speed. I'm a bit rusty due to lack of playing time, have fun I'm sure you can take them down with a bard easily.
Found them, apparently came in also around publish 70.5/71. Apparently corrupted life leech, killed one took forever as they have 30k HP apparently. Loot was artifact quality lesser/greater., with 0 luck.
No wonder my warrior was having a tuff time killing them, they have very high magery as will and can deal alot of damage.
For a quest, but seems sadly not worth doing as you need to slay at least 10 of them, and the reward is a charged book that gives mana free Inscription attempts. Even 7 v 1 with Tribulation/Despair and finishing off with Empowerment/WOD takes a long time.
Would make a useful training ground though.
