help with a build
What did you build for?
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
sorry i didnt put it in the first one im trying to make this powerset an AV soloer i was watchin a video of someoen do it an i really love BS so i wanted to see if i can get one an ive always wanted an AV soloer but really dont know what to build for

Parry will take care of Melee and lethal defense for you. If you choose to go that route, you can not worry too much about Smashing/Lethal defense. That leaves you with E/N/F/C defense to work on, which isn't too difficult with a WP character. Though I would still try to get to 30% melee defense so you only have to apply Parry once to be softcapped. 15% will work too if you don't mind double stacking it.
I like 4xEradication and 2x Scirocco's Dervish in PBAoE attacks (Slice, Whirling Sword, and Head Splitter will all take it) Will give you E/N defense, more max end, and more max HP, with some regen from the Scirocco's.
3xReactive Armor and 3x Aegis in your resistance toggles (provided you can spare the slots to 6 slot them) and one or the other in HPT to go with the Numina's you have there. That will give you E/N defense and F/C defense respectively. If you don't have the slots to pick from, choose the one that gives you whichever defense is lower (which will probably be Aegis)
You don't need that many Achille's Heel procs. I'd leave just the one in Hack and call it good. They don't stack, so even if you did have them all go off, you're still only getting -20% resistance.
Otherwise the build looks alright.
If you don't already have all those purples, you may want to reconsider some of them. They are expensive and Willpower doesn't really benefit that much from them, and Broadsword doesn't require a whole lot of recharge to run a decent chain. I have a BS/DA that has soloed some AVs and he has almost no recharge at all in his build.

I'll throw this in. It's actually Iggy's Kat/WP, but I replaced the Kat attacks with the BS versions. Should give you some excellent ideas, even if you don't use it precisely. Again, all credit goes to Iggy for this one.

I'm just going to clarify my question, decided to post a new post instead of edit. What bonuses are you building for. Your build looked like a smorgasbord of bonuses and no real plan. Always, before you start IOing, choose 1 main bonus, and then a second and third bonus to work towards. Many builds that look poor or unsatisfactory are builds that try to be a jack of all trades on bonuses. These builds fair the same as if you just franken slotted.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
