Guide to defense sets?

Is there a current guide to all the defense sets anywhere?

Coming back for the xp weekend and I want to try a claw brute out, but I'm not sure what to pair it with. Would love to see a guide to the strength and weaknesses of the different defense sets so I can make up my mind.

Thanks in advance for any advice or a point in the right direction.

SR: Relatively easy to softcap, positional defense based, has a +rech/+runspeed passive. Very high def debuff resistance, scaling resists as you lose hp. Very solid and stylish set but lacking a little in flavour compared to some of the other sets. Fairly stylish aesthetics.


EA: A little on the weak side, better now since it got buffed but still a little lacklustre. Typed defense, which can be trickier to softcap. Has a PBAoE +end power that also heals you a little. Has a stealth power for being ninjaresque. Makes you look like a Singularity

WP: Not as strictly a defense set as the others, but worthy of note nonetheless. It's worth noting for defense sets because while its more based on layered protection (+hp, +res, +regen, +def) it still has reasonable defense and can be very easily built for defense with great results. The defense in the set is typed, mostly to exotic damage but with Weave, CJ and bonuses you can softcap your smashing/lethal fairly easily.

Edit: Also Invuln maybe? Pretty easy to get significant typed defenses, the taunt aura Invincibility gives you +def for every foe in range. Similar to WP in the sense of its more a layered protection set, but with higher resists and +hp than WP, but no regen buff.
Hope that helps

Edit: removed SD, forgot about that. Durrr

Shields can't be used with claws, so that one is not an option. Stone Armour is also not usable with claws.

I wonder if the OP meant the secondaries in general, and not just the defense based ones? If so something with a damage aura might be nice. The constant damage buff from Follow Up is a nice boost to those. Sets with damage auras generally have lower protection though.
