Well, here it goes, this is my first time using the hero builder. I hope I did it right (please forgive any mistakes). Let me know what you guys think. It is a rough build just to "softcap" my defense. I may eventually add a couple of Crushing Impact sets later on or something like that. Any comments are more than welcome! Thank you to everyone who posted!

Oh ok, thank you very much. I thought it would be very expensive to do so. I will of course get more sets to add recharge and recovery, but softcapping on him is my main priority. Thanks alot!

I recently made a DM/SR and I love it (my first SR scrapper ever). I find that the -to hit debuff seems to work well with SR. The one question I have is in regards to "soft-capped" defense. I assume that means getting the 45% max for melee, ranged, and aoe without the use of Elude. The question I have is how do I do it, what sets are needed, and what can I expect to pay to do that. I have a good chunk of influence, but not a lot. Should I expect to pay 500 million + to do this? Thank you in advance to whoever responds.

Hello there fellow Scrappers. I've recently come back to my MA/Invul Scrapper and I was wondering if someone could post me a build. The build I have now is good, but I'm just wondering if it could be better. I actually have every power from Invul as well as Tough and Weave (not sure if thats good or not), but it fits my play style as a kind of half tank I guess. Either way, hopefully there are still a few MA/Invuls out there who read the board. Thanks again.

Thank you for your very informative response! What are your thoughts on Dark Pit, on paper it least it seems very good. Is it worth slotting up? I believe it has a -acc, not sure if that is correct or not. Thank you again for your help!

Hello there Defenders. With the upcoming Double XP weekend (yes it is still a ways away) I was thinking of finally leveling a Defender (I've mainly been a Scrapper/Blaster player). I really want to level a Radiation/Dark defender, for some reason it really appeals to me. Anyone have any build suggestions or guides? Any advice on a Rad/Dark would be much appreciated!
