Here's another idea I came up with to get 35% s/l def which would allow me to cap with 1 small purple. Anyone see where i might be able to squeeze more out of this build? or any insight whatsoever? thanks

Here is what I'd do with the second one. I actually like the idea of s/l on a regen, I might do that with my fire/regen.

I like the s/l build purely because I can softcap to it with as little as a small purple but I'm still having my doubts on which would be better, 22 melee + 20 ranged or 35 s/l. The positional build does have better global acc and recharge, as well as a nice little added damage bonus, but I doubt the difference in recharge is gonna really make a difference. Guess the s/l being the higher number will be more reliable than the lower positionals.
I'm takin' the plunge and making a decision here. s/l it is. Thanks for the help Santorican, I'll let ya know how I favor after he's built.

35% s/l is going to be substantially better than 22/20% melee/ranged, but don't assume that's all you'd be able to pull out. I've got a build on file that manages the same levels of recharge and defense (120% +rech and 36.3% melee) as your build manages without having to delve into purple sets.|

This is an all purpose pve build. I'm trying to achieve a decent amount of positonal defense, I avidly use inspirations so carrying purples isn't an issue but I would like to get as much as i can out of the build. Problem is I'm finding that I'm having to sacrifice recharge to do so. I'm flexible on power choices as well so any ideas are welcome.
