need help finding a little bit more defense debuff resistance

right now im about 82% while active defense is stacked. What are some options to make it 95% and still keep me soft capped? Find more recharge and add more enzymes?

Quick fix is to move an enzyme from Battle Agility to Active Defense.

Looks like 91% to me - 31.0% from Battle Agility, 30.0% from each Active Defense.

One more Membrane in Active Defense looks like it would do it. It would reduce the recharge time, so you'd be double-stacked for longer, plus it boosts the DDR to 33.4%, capping you when it's stacked.

As far as finding the slot, your Ranged defense is awfully high, so there's probably a way to trade that off. Like pull a couple of Numinas out of True Grit, stick an Enzyme in Combat Jumping and a Membrane in Active Defense. That gives you 44.8% defense to ranged and AoE instead of 48.1% ranged and 44.3% AoE and soves the DDR "problem". Might be a better solution. That's just the first one I noticed.

What Iceboxer said is simpler, I guess. But it drops your AoE defense further to 43.8%.

Probably better answers still that we haven't thought of.

Get Grant Cover?

I would just remove a slot from Conserve Power and stick it in Active Defense to add another HO to it. Membrane or Enzyme, either one works to boost it enough for your purposes. You'll only have the recharge for Conserve Power increase by 9 seconds by doing so, and you'll cap your DDR.

When you mix Enzymes and Membranes in AD doesn't mids start throwing up wrong numbers for DDR?

I know on my build it was definately out and I ended up with 5 HO's in it!

Thanks for the replies. I got the 82% DDR from the in-game tracker. I'll double check my build once I get the chance.

Very good options, thanks for the help! I'll repost my build once I decide which way to go.

I'm not 100% sure how it's working Werner...but with 1 enzyme in battle agility and 2 membranes and 2 enzymes in act def I'm sitting at 89.7% ddr in-game. According to mids I should be at 95 but I'm not sure if it's all getting effected by ED.
