Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Trying to fit this guy out for PVE. Unlikely to incarnate (I'm barely across IOs!). Grateful any advice.
At the moment his last power is Power Blast from the ancilliary pools; however, if I need to increase his defense my thinking is I could easily swap out PB for something like Assault or Tactics, one slot that with an EndRdx and use the two free slots to place a couple more Red Fortunes in Maneuvers.
I do intend to have Fade up as much as possible for the dramatic improvement it adds to defense.
I do want to keep hover/flight - personal preference. Grateful any/all advice, thankyou.
