Softcapping Def and Resistance Crab Build

There's no way you'll be able to softcap both Def and Res. Hell, I'm not even sure if you'll be able to softcap your Res. Go for defense and go for as much res as you can... then maybe equip the +res Alpha.
Also... TAKE SERUM. Seriously. Take it. With that much recharge, you're doing yourself a disservice.
Here's my build I'm working on. It's a concept I'm working on: Melee Crab. Feel free to tweek it as you see fit. Unfortunately, the recharge isn't nearly as good, but I believe the defense numbers and better resists are worth the sacrifice. Seriously, it might as well be a tank.

Lost my old crab when I activated GR on the wrong account so I've been working on a new one.
The build was thrown together pretty quickly, but will be the framework for what I am working toward.

- It's close enough to the caps that a small ammount of buffing and you're there.
- Has all the powers I was looking for
- Perma-pets/Hasten
Cons:
- Expensive
- Build needs some fine tuneing. Little bit of redundancy here and there.
- Slightly proc-happy
--
It's just for ideas really. Alot of the expensive stuff can be fiddled with: I.E. red fortune sets instead of others, etc.
This is what I have, its got 43.7% to S/L and 42.5 to melee, 42.8 to ranged, 30 to AoE. Perma Serum, perma spiderlings, 4 seconds off of perma disruptors and its cheap. Not exactly what you wanted, but with your budget you can spruce it up I am sure.

Here is the build I am currently working on for my crab - kind of a mixed range/melee with perma spiderlings and disruptor bots up as often as possible. I didn't go for a third pet power as I needed to take more pool powers to get to my def up and couldn't fit in 3 powers from a patron pool. She is currently L47 but by L50 should have def of 45% melee, 46.6% ranged and 40% AoE with nearly 50% resistance to smashing/lethal damage and about 40% to everything else. Spiderlings will recharge in 218s without hasten, a lot faster if you keep hasten up as often as possible. I have a mix of melee and ranged attacks because I really like arm lash and frenzy - if you drop those for either pets or ranged attacks you will have to make up about 3.75% melee and AoE def somewhere, since I slotted a full set of multistrike in each of those for the DEF bonues (or just live with lower def)

Heres the Crab I play. Softcapped Ranged Def, 38% Melee/AoE. Most teams I play on theres someone running Maneuvers or def buffing in some way, tend to sit over cap on all 3 positionals when teamed.
Lots of Leadership buffing. I am about the equivalent of Defender Empathy Fortitude for anybody who is in my aura.
The pets are just barely short of perma, but you can't recast them until they die or you dismiss them anyways so not a big deal.
A little light on the AoE but the high recharge helps that. Gloom brings the single target up a notch.
I run everything but Tough and I have a tight endurance equilibrium with the Musculature Alpha. If I switch to Cardiac I could run Tough as well. Both End accolades are included (they help tons).

Hey guys,I've had this build for a while,but I'm still needing MOAR defense.Mids say I don't have softcap defense.Also,I'd be happy If you guys could help me get some good recharge bonus on it too(I don't have Hasten,but I can respec).Also,if possible,try to keep on a 1 bill price mark,I rarely get above 1 bill easily;
Thanks!
