Max DR is 50% for starters. You need to pump fade until you have exactly 50% DR in your "melee gear" set up. I don't know what you wear, so I will give a general breakdown. Lets do this mathimatically on paper ok.
1) Add up all your DR% from gear. Lets call that number X
2) Add up the number of skill levels your gear increases. Call that number Y
3) Add up your + shadow skills from charms and annihilus. Call that number Z
4) Add them up. X + Y + Z = A
5) Deduct A from 50. 50 - A = B
6) Minus 1 from B because you will get 1 extra skill lvl from battle command from your cta. B - 1 = Hard Points in Fade
Example:
25 (X) + 2 (Y) + 11 (Z) = 38
50 - 38 (A) = 12
12 ( b ) - 1 = 11 Hard points in fade for my hypothetical build example
So that's all you have to do to come up with your hard point number.
