Most well-designed buffdebuff ATs can solo pylons and AVs.
Soloing pylons/AVs for defenders comes down to softcapped (45%) defense backed up by heals/resists, good single-target damage, and -resistance and -Regen debuffs. With dark miasma you have -resist in tar Patch, and two sources of -Regen: twilight grasp and howling twilight. You may need to use twilight grasp constantly because the -Regen from howling twilight cannot be made permanent.
Here's an improved version of the above build with 45 ranged def and 62 S/L res. Hasten and soul drain are 2 seconds off permanent with the Spiritual core paragon. Personally, I would also drop superspeed and combat jumping, and take hover and fly instead. Flying makes it easier to take advantage of the ranged defense.
N.B. Pylon's only attack checks AoE defense, which the following build is not softcapped against. You will probably still be able to solo pylons since my rad/sonic defender, who has similar defensive stats, only gets hit for ~200 by the pylon after debuffs. There's no way the thing can kill me unless I'm afk.

I have been researching on defenders, looking for a decent build for soloing AND teaming for Tfs/Trials. And by soloing, I want to be able to solo AVs, pylons, etc. I know there is a similar thread, but I was looking to see if my specific build would be able to do so. I was looking into a Dark/Ice, here is a build I found:
Btw I have no idea how to build a defender.
