I'd probably try to get slightly higher melee or S/L Defense on top of the +Rech you have. Shadow Meld doesn't quite soft cap you, so anything with -Def might make it less useful. Then again, I don't know what you're planning to go up against and you also have very good recharge on the Regen tools. If it was me playing, though, I'd try to get about 25% S/L or Melee def.

I've always wanted Shadow Meld on a scrapper.
The whole APP/Patron choices give new life to an old spines/regen scrapper I've had for a long time.
