Sooo, is this good, bad or just ugly... I suck at mids but I gave it a shot. I want to try and get as close to softcap but still keep other defenses close to 20%

Edit: I just noticed your specification about other defenses. I don't think you really need them, the vast majority of powers in the game have a smashing or lethal component to them. Most of the "pure" attacks are Psi, which are rare-ish anyway. I think you'd end up being tougher if you simply slotted for more S/L defense than a trivial amount of other defenses.


You're using some interesting sets. Why would you go for Touch of Death when you could place another Kinetic Combat? And why Scirocco's Dervish when you could have another set of Obliteration? Here is my build for Broadsword/Electric Armor, it has the following stats:

32.5% S/L defense (softcap on a purple, lethal on a Parry)

96.25% global recharge BEFORE Hasten. With a Spiritual Alpha (t3 or higher) Hasten is nicely perma. This also renders Energize fairly close to perma (about 3 seconds off).

You can adopt this into your build fairly easily. And if you want more than 32.5% defense, you can sacrifice a little recharge to nab so more defense (slot Brawl or Boxing/Kick for Kinetic Combat). Anyways, here it is:
