SS/DA/x Brute looking for softcap advice

I know the build. I enjoy the build. I've been using it since CoV beta. Orbweaver's had sets in him build for ages, etc. Right now he's solid damage, around a 10 second recharge on foot stomp and similar for dark regen. Endurance isn't an issue currently except in looong fights. Currently has 12 points of KB protection as well.

What I realized during a mothership raid recently is that I really had no hard build goal for him when I did it way back when. So now I'm looking.

Of course the ideal is some form of softcap. Either to S/L due to it's commonality, or melee positional. The amazing ideal is softcap to all 3 positions, but with a res based set I don't think it's possible myself.

Epic pool is up in the air and while there are thematic preferences (Black Scorpion or Ghost Widow), anything is open to consideration.

Anyway, I know there are some people on here that are wicked good at finding bonuses in obscure places. Show me. Otherwise I'll butcher him myself

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get home.

I was poking around and like I think you did, decided that S/L softcap was the most realistic to softcap against while still giving a decent attack chain with other resists and defenses.
