Crab build I think I covered all the bases - Defense caps

Was looking to rework my lvl 50 spider and get him closer to cap. I have a Sonic Traps that has less defense and is soloing +1 +8 Sami AE mission.

But as always putting up on the forums to be ripped apart is always the best way to get the most out of a build

So without further ado - My flying monkey of death

This is what I am using at the moment. It brought my Ranged Defense upto 45.26%. I have the purples but haven't slotted them yet because I am only level 47.

I had to replace one of the Reactive armors with an Endurance IO.

Sadly the build has a higher end drain then expected. Further even with the Debuffs it has, it does not seem to be performing as well as my Sonic Traps or even DP Kin. And all are at defense cap. It just seems like this toon is taking a bigger beating.
