The build isn't terrible but unfortunately your friend isn't an expert at builds either. There are wasted slots all over the place and the build really skimps on some key powers: aim and build up. Personally I'd also take energy bolt, but that's me.
Here's your build, optimized for ranged defense and with much better slotting. You honestly can go for more ranged defense but it will cost you a lot of recharge and other things. Right now the build has 32%, which is very noticeable. 1 small purple will virtually soft cap you. I also threw in a karma -kb IO into your build since your friend forgot to give you any knockback protection.
One other thing. Don't check your build's stats in RV. Stats for builds are different for PvP than they are for PvE. And I didn't build this for PvP, but PvE. If you're going to take a build like this for PvP, you want boost range in your build and you'll want different travel powers. In fact there's a lot of things you'd do differently in the build, but if you want to build for that, let someone else help you. I don't do PvP in this game anymore.

I don't use Mids so I can't post my build, but my energy/energy also went the ranged defense route. I can tell you what I did in general, which may or may not be to your taste, but might give you some ideas. I have a bit less defense than the above posted build, but it's been working out well for me in PVE. No idea about PVP. I can generally handle getting mezzed by a +2 Rikti Mentalist and his pals, and they can't kill me before the mezz wears off.
Took the Fire epic for Bonfire, which makes a *huge* difference for keeping things at range, at least indoors.
Slotted every single-target blast, including the snipe and Power Push, with Thunderstrikes, which are great for ranged defense.
Put two Blessing of the Zephyr in each of Hover and Fly.
Three-slotted Boost Range for recharge and set it to auto-fire.
Skipped every optional melee attack. I'm hovering over a bonfire. Melee is not a thing I do.
Six-slotted Aid Self (two interrupt, frankenslotted heal/recharges) and three-slotted Power Boost. If they do hit, they can contend with the bonfire and my defense while I heal up.

Thank you for the advice both of you. I do how don't mind getting up and close using my melee powers...I think that is scrapper inside of me coming out when I do that.
I do have a few question for you Fury Flechette.
1. I agree with you on the Energy Bolt part. I too was hesistant on giving it up and when I did I was sure why because it's nice to have two powers working when you are held. What power would recommend me sacraficing to have Energy Bolt?
2. If I was to choose Energy Bolt..would I slot it with Thunderstrikes?
3. And what purple IO would you recommend slotting for the soft cap?
And ty btw for helping me with my build.
A while ago a friend of mine help made a build for me since I was still getting used to Mids. I decide to roll it out but noticed that defense percentages were really low so i wanted to bring them up a bit. I checked out RV earlier to see how the IO's were holding up (about half way done with the build) and I noticed my Acc. was only at +41. Some mention it to me and said there were some really good IO's to help with that. The thing is..I don't really know what those would be.
Here is my current build

Another thing I can't decide about is if I should take Aim or Conserve Power :S
If you guys could help me out that would be great. BTW this is my first IO build so I am still learning so take it easy on me.
