Just by looking at it, it does look a bit messy 
For instance, you absolutely do not need 8 points of KB protection. And that RI slotting is weird considering you seem to have the money to afford expensive purple sets. Lingering Rad should be slotted for accuracy and recharge, not slows (it's your -regen power, for Positron's sake).
I'm at work atm, but I'll try and get a build together. Not a godly one, but it certainly will be enough for your needs.

Why on earth would he need 12 -KB points? I do just fine with 4, barely ever got KBed. Unless something has dramatically changed in the past 6 months I would go with 4 points, 8 if you want peace of mind.

I wasn't exactly sold on that build, but I did take from it some ideas and have modified mine. not sure if the defense is overkill but the end use is sustainable now even with AM down and the recharge is enough to keep that attack chain going. What do you think? Is this a step in the right direction, or did I totally miss the mark again?

Missed the mark. Non perma AM and lingering rad, tough/scorp shield/choking cloud badly underslotted, and the build isn't actually softcapped because some of the def from stealth suppresses when attacked.
Black Assassin's build is good if you want to stay in melee range and use choking cloud. If you want a ranged defense hoverblasting build, try this. This is just to show you how to get the def/rech, you can finish the rest yourself. Perma-LR/Hasten/AM, 45 ranged def. You have 6 power choices and 5 slots to spend.
Remember to toggle on the spiritual core paragon.

Hello all,
First off I know this build is a mess, but I am chronically bad at them. I am generally looking for decent recovery, damage and most importantly high Def (the only of the three I managed to achieve). I've posted my build below but none of it is set in stone except hover so as to maintain three dimensional ranged blasting.
This is my first defender since about issue 10 or something. I need help! Please take a look and make any suggestions you can think of. I'm not asking anyone to go into mids and make me a new build but where should I start, what should I scrap?
I implore you, great minds of the COH forums. Help a wayward hero.
