Just as a tip, add AA'#s to bracers or shoulders, they seem to decay alot slower so you get to keep the mod for longer.
nice loot BTW

Yup. It's best to get non-stun bracers/biceps, and get them as highly effectiveness sliced as possible.. in the 85%+ range. Those things will last you forever.

Na, you're good. It's a known armor bug where those 4 pieces cover about 95% of the damage you take. Every so often, you'll get hit somewhere, but the bracers/biceps are really just an optional piece that I use for attachment purposes.

I wouldn't be too worried about not getting the counter attack +8 melee defence is a much better mod IMO

It's always been like that - 2 mods on a single attachment never work together.
The simple rule is as follows:
1) The mod with the highest stat will win
2) If two or more mods have the same stat, the one listed first will win.
3) You can pull a "losing" mod by dropping the attachment in an item which already has, at a minimum, the mod you want to remove.
IE:
+5 counter attack and +8 melee defense will always be: +8 melee defense
+5 counter attack and +5 melee defense will always be: +5 counter attack
If you wanted to get the +5 counter attack, you need to put the +5 Counterattack / +8 melee defense into a piece which as +8 or +9 or more Melee defense.
