Your ranged defense is higher than you think, the 3.75 buff from PF isn't showing, so if you swap out a Mako's set for Touch of Death you should be at the Melee softcap and ranged Def would still be over 42%.

A lot of your slotting appears to focus on global recharge, Thuderstrike and Detonation are good sets for getting ranged and aoe def but it will reduce recharge.

If you could find a 6th slot for True Grit you can 6 slot Numina and get ranged def that way, and more the Regen proc to Health.

Balle,

Just from a quick glance, and making a few concessions I got Melee to 45.8, left Ranged at 46.3 and got AoE to 44.4.

I removed two of the hami-os from Active defense (you don't need the extra recharge) but it does drop your DDR down to 44.9 when not stacked (a cost of about 7% over the three HOs slotting), not to mention it will stack less often. I also stole two slots from Tough, leaving just the resist/3% def Unique, since I noticed you didn't slot deflection or true grit for resistance, it appeared obvious to me you were really never going to run tough (though I could be way off on that assumption, but tough has the exact same resist values as Deflection - 11.3% S/L resistance). I then took one slot from Weave (the LotG triple, which was only giving .12% def, and .05/sec end reduction)

Using the extra slots I six slotted boxing with Razzle Dazzle, which grants 2.5% Melee and AoE def, getting you to the softcap for melee and very close for AoE.

Here is that build:

Another option would be to remove those same slots, but place them in Char to six slot it with Lockdown, which gives 2.5 AoE and 33.75 ranged, then swap the Mako's in either smite or midnight grasp with Touch of Death, giving you 47% melee, 46.3% Ranged and 44.4% AoE.

Again, these are based on assumptions which may or may not be even remotely accurate. I hope if nothing else it gives you a few ideas to work with.

Thanks JAXMAN and Ribic. I'll probably go with Ribic's first build because that seems like a simple solution to solve my problem.

And yeah, I fixed the Phalanx Fighting bug a while ago, but then I think I messed it up again and I can't fix it..
