I would say that extra melee defense would be the better choice. You'll get much more use out of it. Upping your typed defenses would probably be a little easier and you would get more from them since you already have something to build on, but I understand why you want positional, though.

For farms go with +rech/+hp
For the ITF go with a Thermal or Sonic buffer. If not bring oranges and you should be fine assuming you have tough. Romans will floor your defense since WP has little defense debuff resistance and Romans have a ton of it to hit you with. With tough and some oranges here and there you should be able to run the ITF no problem once you get some added HP to your build
Mine has 2466 and doesnt have much problems on the ITF. with about 75-80% resistance to smash/lethal WP should have enough regen to live through romans and the EBs without droppin below half life
Yeah the accolades are going to be the first thing to do at 50 (48 currently) Regen is at about 32.4/sec with the uniques and set bonuses. Tough and weave were picked up long ago. My +rech is about 40% global. I was just really on the fence about the def. Thanks for the responses so far.

I dont think mine has any +hp accolades. Its all sets and powers
I'm working on a SS/WP build mostly for general purpose farms and ITFs. The question is, should I slot IO's for melee def or ranged def? I can slot 3 sets of tod's to push melee def to about 30% or slot 3 sets of makos to get around 27% ranged def. I realize that my type def is already higher, but on the off chance something gets past that or checks positional first (S/L/Psi) I wanna know where I'm gonna get the most bang for my buck. Opinions?
