You generally have 50% "inherent" defense against enemies... or they have 50% chance to hit you, either way!! As I understand it SR's defense is effectively added on top of this (different values for melee, ranged and AOE attacks) so with 30% defense from SR a mob would have roughly 20% chance of hitting you.
There's a fairly complicated set of equations about somewhere that explain it all, but that's essentially the gist of it. Defence hits a "ceiling" of effectiveness at about 45%, but it can physically be buffed further in case of defense debuffs or enemy +tohit buffs.
Further information here
To Hit Value = (1 + Acc Enhancements) * (0.75 + Acc Buffs - Acc Debuffs - Target Defence).
The result can never be lower than 5% and neither higher than 95%. So even with an ultra-mega-hyper Accuracy, you'll miss a bit.
That means that if you havent slotted your attack and your opponent has no defence, and you are not buffed neither debuffed, you'll hit your opponent 75% of the time.
Complicated? I'll give an example:
Imagine you slotted your attack with 2 SO Acc. Thats 66%, or 0.66. Lets say your opponent has SR and got the 45% cap and for some reason (maybe he got Dark Melee) you are suffering a -10% Debuff when you attack. And you have no Buffs.
To Hit Value = (1 + 0.66) * (0.75 +0 -0.45 -0.1) = 33%
Got it?
Another thing: instead of 75%, minions have a base hit value of 50% and Lts, 62.5%.

or maybe the sr went into the zone with just 20% def to self?
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I just used arbitrary values for the example. But I should have pointed that information.
right im total confused here and its time for u brain boxes to shine. I tried to work it out myself today but got all confused. How does SR work? i mean with 30% defense, but toon have 3 acc ina attack giving them 100% acc wud that not mean they hit me all the time? plz explain
