I'm seeing just north of 46% defense on that build, which is already above softcap. Not sure where else you could steal slots to squeeze a bit more, though.

Yeah, I know I'm a hair over. The frustrating thing is, I can't remove any of my tiny bonuses without putting me back under the softcap, so I'm at a loss as to how to make it more efficient.

If I recall correctly, non-incarnate softcap is 45% and incarnate softcap is 69%, so if you plan on Incarnate content I would not worry about s/l at 46%.
Justice is my Home!
Check out Mathematicians gone wonky in The Black Theorem (Arc 3608)!
I was digging through the forums and found this build. It's got a bit better totals than the one you posted. This is the one I plan to use on my ss/elec brute.

English isn't my birth language, so don't blame me if I do some mistakes. thank you !
So I have an SS/Elec brute at 49, and in preparation of his upcoming final level, I thought I should put a build together.
What I'd like is to softcap S/L defense (not worrying so much about the Energy softcap since he's hardcapped to Energy resist). I can afford Hami-O's (and I used some in the build), but unless someone gives me the Gladiator 3% Def proc, I'm not gonna be able to afford that.
If there's anything I could do to tighten this build up, I'd appreciate the feedback. Mids is being weird, so all I can give is the data chunk.
