I have a softcapped DM/SD build, and comparing the two, I think you may have gone somewhat overboard on ranged defense. There appears to be a bug with Mid's currently that causes Phalanx Fighting to not display it's ranged defense buff.
You can easily drop a couple of the Mako's IOs for a couple Touch of the Nictus and still be softcapped.
The moral of the story: don't trust Mid's without question.

My thanks, Demo. I was wondering why there was a random 3.75% drop without the last two pieces of that Mako's set... >.>

This is true. Dropping the Mako set bonus, you're at 45.3% ranged def.|

There is a fix for the Phalanx Fighting bug:
Options - Advanced - Database Editor - Main database editor - Scrapper Defense - Shield Defense - double click "Phalanx Fighting" - Effects tab - double click "3.75% Defense(Ranged)" - in the drop down to the left, set "Affects:" to NONE. click OK - OK - Save and Close.
Happy Buildin' and killin'!
Hey guys. I have a DM/SD build I have laid out, but to get my ranged softcap in, I have to sacrifice a 6% heal on Siphon Life (comparing it to what I'd to with the slotting without the Mako's set I have in there now). I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to avoid using the whole Mako's set, and move some other slots around to get the ranged defense up?
I'm trying to avoid that PvP +Def IO at all costs, so don't use that one please :P
