Well, the raids aren't really something that requires stationary defenses anyway. The mobs come for the player, not your buildings. They'll only destroy your stuff if they can't get to you. Especially with the greydwarf raids that happen after the first boss, they really can't do any significant damage. Aside from that, they only happen if you're home, and still pretty rarely at that. I for one welcome the opportunity to train up my skills!
