I'd normally agree with you, but Shadow Meld has me torn. Is it really worth it to get more than 25% +def to any defense when you've got insta-softcap waiting right there for you along with MoG? I guess it really depends on whether you'd be getting Shadow Meld or not. If you aren't, then go with the melee defense since it's so much more useful to a Scrap. If you are, I'd go with the more even keeled build.

I've been playing around on my Ma/Regen for a bit now, and with the new changes to MA, I was going to respec my build. Now I will be giving up abut +3.75% ranged Defense for a +5% global recharge boost, but that will allow me to hit the necessary recharge in Storm Kick for the optimal attack chain.
However, i am wondering a bit on how I should split up the defenses on this build. I will have a set 13.5% AoE Defense, but I don't know if I should try to even out melee and ranged (with a ~22.9% melee and ~21% ranged split) or focus more on melee (with ~30.4% melee but just ~13.5% ranged).
I am thinking to go more toward the +30% melee defense, since that also has a ~23.5% S/L defense as well.
Any thoughts or considerations?
