Successfully slaying Living Armor comprises three primary factors  : sufficiently high physical attack to damage the outer armor, sufficiently high magic attack to damage the inner aura, and employing the proper tactics to bypass its enormous shield.

Even at Level 200, Living Armor can be difficult to deal with if these three factors are not met satisfactorily. I find using Ninefold Bolt as a Magick Archer is the fastest and easiest way to slay them from a distance (while sustaining no damage). Any other vocation may need to switch weapons in the middle of the fight (physical weapon for the outside shell, Holy weapon for the inner aura). Having a balanced party capable of inflicting both physical and magic damage would also help tremendously.

You can certainly beat a single Living Armor at level 71. You used 15 Wakestones because you were not successfully avoiding damage, but your stat growth is probably sufficient for the task. Focus on your TACTICS. Be patient and chip away at it while its back is turned ("Stick and move" in boxing jargon), then roll away. Let your pawns distract it and then attack from behind. Good luck !
