Well Soft capping (on a SD character) is getting all of your positional defenses to at least 45% def. Here is a "low cost" build that gets you essentially* soft capped. I'm not commenting on the actual build (since that's not what you asked) and put together a cost effective (only 2-3 expensive sets) build. Just a warning, you probably can't get the data to import since my mid's is funky but you can look at the sets to get you there.
*I say essentially because it has only 44.5 and 44.8% melee and ranged def, for a little bit more money you can get a set of Kinetic Combat (more expensive then the smashing haymaker) and get your melee capped. Not sure how to get your ranged capped without actually knowing your full budget or changing some power picks (like manuevers instead of hasten).

Actually, im still using the 1st build from my thread i posted above (i think i added a numina unique into health, but other than that)
Imo, its pretty cheap and does its job decently. Regen (and recovery to some extent) is poor, but i can solo +2/8 missions with it (insps are nice).
Posting the chunk here for those who dont want to dig it up.

Thanks alot for that build ideal MutantX. Does my build look decent, I mean, its not that bad or anything is it? Also, when I plan these builds and slot my enhancements, what do I look at in Mid's to make sure I have "soft capped" my defenses? Does it show you when you have "soft capped" or do you just have to figure it out yourself? Thanks!

When it comes down to it, as long as you like what you have then enjoy it. Below is my Elm/SD/Blaze (just for reference). Without alot of Recharge I think you'll be waiting for your attacks to come up with only Havoc Punch and Chain Induction as ST attacks (and T-strike thrown in as well).|

As far as mid's goes Click the totals tab on top of the power description box in the lower left hand corner, that will show you all of your defensive totals (Res., Def and a plethora of other stats).
Here is my build, Ended up costing maybe around 200mil total (as of today). The key to keeping the cost low with the sets I used was using sub-30 level IOs instead of the +30 ones available, I saw those were sometime 2-3 times as expesive as the lower level ones for not "that" much more of a benefit. I also planned around soft capping my melee and then ranged/AoE def as early as possible.

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

So, in the case of /SD you would need to get atleast 45% in melee, ranged and AoE defense to be "good".

I think he was asking how to check this in mids. Click on the 'Totals' tab on the bottom left and look under Defense. You're looking at the values for Melee, Ranged, and AoE to be at 45% or higher.

Hey guys, I'm about to hit 50 on my Elec/Shield scrapper and I want to cap his defenses, or at least make him have stronger defenses
I have never done this before with any of my other level 50 toons, but I enjoy this one enough to put some influence into him. I don't have billions to spend, but I could eventually come up with a few hundred million. Below is the build I have planned for him.
