Returning Player Needs Kinetic Melee/Shield Defense Help (Mid's Included)

Winters Slow Resist in SJ / Kismet Unique in CJ / Miracle Unique in Health. I honestly didnt see any benefit when I had a second Performance Shifter +chance for End on tank (but again that's limited by my experience on my Icer). Me, I'd probably just 3 slot Physical Perfection (with the Numinas) and stick an additional End Redux in AAO. YMMV
Good hunting

@Deadboy
Thank you for the suggestions.
Are the defensive numbers okay, or is there a way to push them a bit higher that does not involve extreme costs?

Yup those are good. Besides the Glad Proc pvp IO (which is hella expensive) the only other thing would be a couple of two Membrane HOs or SHOs to stick into Active Defense (to boost your Resistance to Debuff Defense).
@Deadboy
One final question. . . .
I am a bit concerned at the pacing at which defenses improve, so I worked out an alternate progression which brings his defense values up more quickly at the expense of Quick Strike not coming available until late--level 47. On the positive, not using Quick Strike every time it is up saves 1.46 end/sec. (Quick Strike rarely finishes off anything or does such significant damage, so I am not sure I'll miss having it except as a filler between other attacks.)
Or am I better off leaving well enough alone?

Erratic,
Aside from the KD component of QS how attached are you to it (I like the KD component) ? Could you use boxing as an alternative?
If so, kindly a look at this build - hopefully you can draw some ideas from it. I didnt really have time to compare all the builds numerically but this build is keeping in mind when you RSK down. I took Hasten instead of QS (since Spring Attack has a longish timer) although you can certainly take Confront (which can situationally have use). This build has a low amount of recharge though but positionally should be ok (44.9% to M/46.1% to R/44.6% to AoE). I suspect max HP is down but End REcovery may be comparable to your other two builds. I also know that you are returning player so I tried to keep costs in mind (hence no pvp / purple sets)
Also, have you considered reposting this thread in the Scrapper boards where it should garnish more views? Lots of smart peeps there (like yourself).

@Deadboy
I am not particularly wed to Quick Strike. My big problem is trying to squeeze too much into too few sub-30 levels. I want good defenses, I want DDR, and I want enough attacks not to be standing around waiting for recycle. Sadly, something has to give.
Thanks for all the advice. I'm looking over your suggestions and playing with them. Guess I'll try posting in the Scrapper thread.

I have returned to CoH after a 6 year hiatus and been having a grand time with power proliferation. The character I think will be my new main is the KM/SD scrapper I've been working up who is at 38th level.
ED and the Invention system are things that have been added since I left and while I would love to go hog wild with slotting the fact of the matter is I can't remotely afford anything too expensive. So I have tried to come up with relatively inexpensive slotting options that get him to defense caps. The thing is he I am still fractionally short of getting him there.
I am happy with the power selection and even the ordering of powers. But if anyone can suggest better slotting (or heck, just better build if what I have isn't workable), I'd appreciate the input.
