You'd be better off building on the defense already present in the build, and that's typed defenses, not positional.

Been trying to squeeze as much defense out of this character as possible, wanted to do a respec for a long time, just didn't get around to it. Not sure what else I can do...but I got my melee defense up to about 32%.
