Nobody has any feedback?
It looks to me like you did hit it. Maneuvers isn't toggled on when I load the build, but activating it puts the build over 45% to S/L. Not that I'd want to ever play that build, but hey you did hit the mark.
It's difficult to softcap a builld that has no inherent defense powers. As you've no doubt noticed, you have to make a lot of build sacrifices to get there. Too many, in my opinion.
That's why I tend to shoot for 32.5% instead of 45% on those sorts of builds. It puts you within one small purple inspiration of the softcap, and loosens up the build enough that you don't have to gimp it horribly to get there.
If you absolutely require being softcapped full-time there are improvements that can be made to the build to make it more functional, but my suggestion would be to lower your expectations a bit and put together a build that will be more fun to play. You still have solid resistances for those times when the defense isn't enough.
If you must have extreme survivability at the expense of other aspects of the build, you could probably get there with fewer sacrifices on a stoner.
I could use some feedback on my build. I see alot of people saying its easy to max s/l defense, but im having trouble hitting that mark
