FFG: 13.3% Defense, ~20% enhanced.
Cold Domination Shields: 15% Defense, ~23% enhanced
Arctic Fog: 5% Defense, ~7.5% Enhanced
So realistically as long as you ED cap FFG and the two ice shields you'll softcap everyone except for the cold dom (although the 40ft range on Arctic Fog means people need to stay close).

ok, that's good. I just wanted to be sure I could do it with having to learn anything else. Although I may also learn maneuvers on my defender anyway to help with arctic fog's short range. Thanks, that's pretty much all I wanted to know.

The -To Hit from your Dark Blasts should more than cover any shortfall.
Slot Nightfall and Tenebrous Tentacles for damage, even so they both pack 9.3% To Hit debuffs. Even against tough higher level enemies who resist this, opening with these two attacks earns you another 10% Defence equivalent or more.
So in this case I'd say Manouvers is not needed. I'd take Assault instead - if you both do this you've got +37.5% damage buff, nicely amplified by your various -Resistance powers.
My friend recently made a Cold/Dark Defender, and I thought a good partner to go with him would be a Traps/AR defender. My question is, if my friend slots arctic fog for defense, will that plus the ice shields, and force field generator, be enough to soft cap the defense of any team we join?
