Well defence is easier to softcap then resist with /SD. Get mids and look at the sets. I am not good with sets but in the scrapper form they have a great guide for /SD. And someone please correct me if im wronge i think it is easier for a brute to hit 45% defence then a scrapper b/c the base defence is higher.
edit -
ok i found the link Shield Defence Guide
it is a 2 issues out of date so its not that bad and there are some simple builds that others have posted with capped defence for you to go off of.
