Thanks Garent for the advice. I tweaked your build a little bit and ended up with 33.8% ranged defense still focusing on damage. One thing I don't like too much is that I had to add chance of knockback to dark pit and thunderclap for their ranged def set bonuses, but I think I can live with it. Any more comments?
