You should be able to soft cap versus ranged, but most of the +ranged def will be coming from attacks/travel powers
Thunderstirke 6 slotted gives 3.75% ranged def
Blessing of the Zephyr 2 slotted gives 3.13% ranged def
3 single target attacks, plus CJ and SJ gives 17.5% from those set bonuses alone.

Lists all sets with +def
on Stealth and PvP: Most serious PvP will involve people who are at/close to the perception cap, making stealth of limited use.
If you want to sit in a lowbie zone and snipe folks, you should be just fine, if you want to use it as a tool in RV or arena, then think again.

Well, I can tell you what I did with devices in regards to defense to give you some ideas. Gaussian's in targetting drone (2.5 all), stupefy in taser (3.13 range) , eradication in trip mine (1.565 range), expediant reinforcement in gun drone (3.13 range).|

I don't pvp so I didn't even take cloaking device, super speed and a celerity stealth IO gives me full invis and without the annoying never ending hum of cloaking device that drives me crazy. Maybe they'll catch that one and hopefully someday put it on their list of powers who's sound effects should fade away after toggle on. The illogic of why stealth powers make noise in this game has always been a mystery to me. But that's a tangent.

you can replace the sound file (only on your client) with that of silence. I forget where to get the silence sound file, but i saw a post on it not too long ago.

6 slotted red fortune in the defense sets will give 2.5% ranged, and Steadfast Protection and Gladiator's Armor each offer a global 3% defense enhancement that can be slotted into a resistance type power.

And if so,that would be great,because i would really like to make a ?Dev Blaster for this account...Primary Blast set hasnt been chosen yet,but thats another issue in its self.
I want to get the most bang for my buck when it comes to the Cloaking Device,in terms of stealth,and from the numbers,this power is the second strongest stealth power in the game...first being a Stalkers Stealth.Knowing veagly about how IOs work,im pretty sure adding a stealth IO into this power will make it fun to play with in PvP.
The maximizing Def % is the next challenge...without throwing a complete Mids Build at me...anyone have a exsplainable alternative to getting what i want out of this set?
