Been away for over a year and a half and I am looking to get up to speed on the latest toon specing. I have just about every type of toon so I figured instead of posting the same question in each forum I would jump in here and ask

I believe depending if your a blaster or defender each cap is different, this is why I am asking.

This cap is good for defense. Plus, it's got spikes, so you could do some damage with it, too.

... Sorry, couldn't resist. >_>

Additionally remember that for PvE the defense softcap is 45%. Going above that is only useful for countering defense debuffs or dealing with the rare NPCs who have To Hit buffs.
