How important is S/L defense, when you have a high resist to both. I have posted a build below that has almost capped E/N/F/C but only high 20's for S/L and 71% Resist to both. Would that work or am I going to be disappointed?

That would help me ...

Here is my build now with some of the suggestions given:

Mids figures that with DA single stacked, I should go defensewise:

S: 28.3
L: 51.1
E: 45.1
N: 45.1
P: 34.4
F: 47
C: 47

Melee: 46.2
Range: 38.8
AoE: 28.5

In addition, I should have a 770% Regen rate, although my HP may not be as high as others.

Have at and thanks again for all the help

Hak

Thanks to all the folks that gave me a hand. I am going to try some of the advice here and see how it works for me.

Thanks again.

I am working on a Kat / WP build that I hope can function as a boss / AV killer. After taking a look at Werner's build and a few others, I came up with the below. I am more than open to any suggestions that any would have. Thus far, it has been a really fun toon to play through 38, even before IO's. Is this going to give me the tools to complete Scrapper Challenges and such?

My thanks,

Hak

"Son, we live in a world that has code, and that code has to be maintained by the Dev's. Who's gonna do it? You? You, GenericHero3253?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your Enhancements and you curse the Dev's.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the Enhancement Diversification, while tragic, probably saves Heroes.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves Heroes.
You don't want the truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me maintaining that code, you need me maintaining that code.
We use words like balance, fun, changes. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent coding something. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very game that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a keyboard and start coding. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to"
