Against strongest.
f/e you getting attacked with ranged s/l and your defense is:
ranged 20%
smashing 35%
lethal 40%
roll will be against the strongest : lethal 40%
You can find more information on defense here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Defence
I'm pretty useless at IOed builds to be honest. Lots of much better qualified people here than me to look at the build in detail. I just get confused by them mostly 
But I do know that the Defense used is always the highest number you have against that attacks types. But some attacks are weird. They might do a certain damage type, but the attack types mightn't reflect the types of damage an attack does. For example Fireball does Fire & Smashing Damage, but its Attack Types are just Fire and AOE. So even if you'd capped Smashing defense it wouldn't count vs Fireball. In your example the Fire Defense would be used vs Fireball as it is higher than the AOE, the Smashing doesn't come into it in terms of defenses.
Thats super, thanks.
If i am fighting lvl 54's do you know from those defense vaules what rolls they will need to hit me if they are,
a) minion
b) luitenant
c) boss
This one is harder to work out, but i would be very grateful if anyone knows how to get me the correct figure for each.
Def values from build are
Smashing - 39.6%
Lethal - 39.6
Fire - 34.3%
Thank you in advance ppl x

OK, I'm a little out of practice on this but I'll give it a shot.
For the smash/lethal, the "chance to be hit by even minion" is 50-Defense. I don't know the proper term of art any more, "base to-hit" maybe?
So 11.4% for S/L and 15.7% for Fire.
(This number can never go below 5%. )
This then gets multiplied by an "accuracy term" having to do with level and rank. +4s are something like ... hell, gotta check the Arcanaville guide.
Ah. +4's get a 1.4 multiplier. Minions get a 1.0, lieuts get a 1.15 and bosses get 1.3 . \
So a +4 smash/lethal minion would have (11.4% * 1.4) or ... umm, 16% ish. A +4 fire boss would have (15.7% * 1.4 * 1.3).
/em takes off shoes to count
27%-ish chance to hit you.
It is worth noting that a single small purple drops the base to-hit to the 5% floor, leaving you with roughly 7% and 9% respectively.
Enjoy!

Buy for 36 million, craft, sell for 50? What _are_ the current prices for Impervium Armor: Resistances and LoTG: Defense?

*smiles* Don't take Fulmens numbers to literally. All I think he's attempting to point out is crafting for a profit. Buy recipe "A" for "x" and sell the crafted version for "x+lots more" rinse and repeat till you have your influence for the build.

Nope. You mentioned that you now needed to make Inf for the build. Fulmens just pointed out a simple way to do that. |

If you want to play the market this way, you're going to need to do some studying. Find an IO set enhancement that is going for a good price. Then see if the Recipe for that enhancement, plus salvage and crafting cost, is going for much lower than it. If so, but the recipe and salvage, make it, and list it for higher than your costs. This should get you a net increase in funds.

Oh ok, cool that sounds like a plan, ill take some time over it. Seems to work for many people, must admit i always buy the IO and list the rec, never seem to craft anything.
Maybe it's time to shop smart. :P
Thanks guys for your help x

ok technical question, I'm hoping the likes of carnifax see's this :P
I am making a build for a brute, who needs to be survivable against S/L + Fire attacks.
Some Melee, Ranged and Aoe.
However I have a build I made which gives great def to S/L + Fire however the positional like ranged isn't super....
SO my question is this,
if i am attacked with ranged S/L + Fire attacks(cones too) would the defense roll be on the positional(weakest link) or the damage type(strongest link)...
I have posted the build incase you want to refer to it.
