Defense & DR.
Well, this is just a basic question that I personally can't check for myself.
How hard would DR hit 52.6% MD/62.6% RD? (There's no AoE defense, nope. Why...? well... who gives a F about AoE damage in PvP these day xP) Will it at least be like 30%ish? =/ |
Varies by at. I remember squishies cap around 20, can't remember the others atm

Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

I want to say 20%-ish for squishies, and maybe 40%-sh for non squishies
Bad news though currently in pvp, defense really doesn't work right now. Right now on my defense toons, I would be very happy if I only got hit 80% of the time, based on what I've seen( and you really have to monitor your combat window for this), even with toons running the maximam amount of defense you can away with under DR, you tend to get saves from the streak breakers, and the very occasional odd hit or so, but thats it, dissappointing if you really did work hard trying to maximize your defense

It's more like... hmm.. let's say... a concept. =P
Thanks for the replies, btw =)
Squishies cap at 20%, everything else is between 40 and 50%. To hit that 50% though you'd need somewhere upwards of 100% PvE defense.

Believe me when I say defense is still alive and kicking, however only the shield tank survived the holocaust. Shield tanks at the 50% mark in RV are some of the toughest things to kill in the game. My Dom at +55 global acc, 99% base acc in a power, and +17 to hit from kismet/tactics and I'm hitting a good def based shield tank only 46% of the time. In fact, shield tanks are so good now in RV that I rolled one up this weekend.
agreed. the only thing that i've been able to reliably hit a shield tank with is my fire/cold and a to a lesser extent my mind/thorns dom (not enough dps to take one down most of the time though).

No, it's because they have a metric fuckton of HP and solid defense and resistance to go along with it
