SS/Elec with 35% Melee Def?

I saw a build on here awhile back for a SS/Elec/Soul that had 35% def to melee I believe.
Maybe it was smash/lethal. I really can't remember.

Does anyone have that build for mids?

Thanks,

I don't have a SS/elec build handy, but getting high S/L and Melee def isn't hard, sometimes kinda expensive, but not hard. What you do is slow Kinetic combat in every melee attack you can, and Obliteration in all your PBAOEs. /Elec has a bit less PBAE then my SS/fire, but should be able to get good numbers.

It was probably 35% to S/L, not Melee. It'd be helpful to know what you want to do with the character; farm or general play?

In any event, getting to 35% S/L isn't too hard. One quick way (not on a PC w/Mids atm):
4 sets of Kinetic Combat=15%
4 sets of Reactive Armor= 6%
Steadfast Unique= 3%
Weave= ~5%
Combat Jumping= ~2%
One of the Taunt Sets= 2.5%, or 3.13%

That gets you to ~34.13%, if you go with Perfect Zinger, or ~33.5% if you go with Mocking Beratement. Either one can be bumped up to a little over 35% by slotting Rage with either 2 pieces of Rectified Reticle, or 6 pieces of Gaussain's.

Now, I actually made modifications to that build and was able to get to 46.9% defense to S/L. It'll be difficult to show you exactly what I did since there isn't an update to Mid's yet, but if you PM me or send me an in-game tell, I can help you to get to that point. The build can be end heavy at times, but I went with the Cardiac Radial Alpha boost, and now have minimal issues with end. Power sink also always has me ready for the next big group.

On an elec you can also toss in Maneuvers since the endurance isn't as much of an issue.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Or Multi-Strike in attacks that use a lot of endurance, and endurance is an issue. It's only half the bonus of Obliteration (though it gives Fire/Cold/AoE too, which is handy if you're working on more than just one type), but it's often better for something like a damage aura. And it costs a LOT less - I've never paid more than 1 mil per IO for a full set.

Thanks Just_Blaze

That was the build I was looking for. I started IO'ing my toon but lost the build in mids.
