Here's my take on it, I reslotted several powers so they're more fully slotted (Tough, for instance) and you can reach the soft-cap. The key was slotting Siphon Life as an attack rather than purely as a Heal; it is a high damage attack and should be treated as such. With the GA +def you can actually skip the bonuses in Salt Crystals and still be soft-capped.

Trying to help a friend put together a Dark Armor/Dark Melee beast, and I'd like to throw a shout out to the community for help. I'm trying to get S/L/E/N softcapped, while providing as much power enhancement, recovery, +hp and recharge as possible after that (probably in that order?). I'm sure someone has put a lot of thought into this build, and I'm wondering what those builds look like. Here's what 45 mins and Jim Beam has to say about the build. As you can see, I'm far from my goals. Any help is appreciated!
