SR is completely possitional defence (except for untyped damage. I prefer possitional defence to typed because I dont have to worry about what the mobs are going to hit me with, just how they're going to do it. If I imob them with TT and then run it I can drop my ranged shield if I like, cause they'll try to melee me (or AoE at least)
I'm assuming you had CJ for that 2.5% typed defence as AFAIK SR has no typed defence (which means Psi it just another attack, nothing scary but auto hit is a [censored])

Positional Defence> Typed Defence
Autohit and Typed defence........... makes no sense
"It automatically hits"
"But my skin shrugs off that, due to rocks sticking out of it"
"Still, it hits"
At least with possitional it can be
"Stand there, you get hit, to dodge you'd need to be somewhere else"

Thanks that makes it clear. 
oh, and with the changes to the tohit formula in i7, AoE defense is back to 30% (on par with melee/ranged)
it used to be higher because of higher level foes using AoE attacks a lot, and SR not being able to handle that. Now with the new formula, there's no difference between an even con and a +5 (+6 is hitting the purple patch right?) so there was no need for the higher AoE defense, and it was put back.

Go teh Claws/SR trend!
I'm claiming this one btw, as soon as I made Vigilant, everyone's been going on about their proposed Claws/SR, after Ji called it 'The most gimped Scrapper, ever'. Me ftw! ^^

Hah, my Claws/SR (actually on LNs account but 
) was created because I was bored with regen and like the anims for claws that came with i7.

I was playing around with build in sherksilver's planner and looking at a proposed Claws/SR which I'm playing.
I noticed that as a SR it had good defense against Melee, Range and AoE (30, 30 & 48% IIRC). Yet the defense against the typed stuff was 2.5% vs all except Psionics.
I've never played a SR before so wondered if its better to have def against typed or positional?
