defense at 45% on SR, does elude help any?
Quote:
yes and no.
I have my Katana/SR scrapper at around 44% on defense (Melee, Ranged, AoE) so when I activate elude defense jumps to 115%. My question, does elude help any on defense if cap is at 45%? Thanks

No, Elude won't help against most enemies.
Yes, Elude will help against enemies with to-hit buffs, such as vengeanced nemesis, elite bosses, and arch-villains.
I also think there's something to do with PvP. Dont quote me on it, though.
Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.

Bah, that's probably it. They sound the same, kinda.

Just as a side note: it also mules another Performance shifter proc for me.

Depends on what you are fighting. The soft cap measures the cap for white con minions unless I'm mistaken. If you regularly fight a significant amount of bosses/+4 minions/AV's/Giant Monsters/TF's/PvP then it should be helpful

1. Be +6 or higher (up to +5 they have accuracy bonuses for higher level)
2. Be turret or Pet Class (these have base 75% chance to hit, not 50%)
3. Be one of a certain special class of critters, such as Praetorian DE (these have been recently introduced, and have 64% base chance to hit, not 50%)
4. Possess tohit buffs (Build Up, tactics, Vengeance, etc. DE Quartz crystals are the king here, with a +100% tohit buff per eminator)
5. Possess enough defense debuffs to reduce you below 45% (depending on how far over 45% you are, a large number of lethal attacks have -Def, and there are other -Def debuffs, notably quicksand which autohits).
6. Have a way to detoggle you, such as with endurance drain. Elude can't be detoggled.

Hmmm... your probably right. Really never checked the in-game numbers, but it seemed to help, or at least while active.

Seems to me they are asking the wrong question here.
