Currently at 33.9% lethal defense.

Power sets SS/Elec, reasoning behind the build. He's a robot bullets are meant to bounce off of robots.

Any one care to take a glance? Maybe give some tips on getting some more lethal defense?

This build makes aid self a bit riskyier to relly on but raise the defense a little more.

If you took Darkest Night, you could potentially 5-slot it with the Siphon Insight (Accurate To-hit Debuff) for 3.75% S/L if you only have four of those bonuses. (Four Kinetic Combat sets.)

I'd personally go Darkest Night over Weave, 16% ToHitDebuff and 22% dmg debuff surely beats in my humble opinion the 5-6% defense Weave grants.

I wish scrappers had that option tbh

With almost ~35% S/L and Darkest Night, you should be absolutely fine. Even minus Weave as Nightmarer says.
