Little confused here..

[Arathy]

Pardon the newbness..  I'm a little confused as to the break down of our defensive capabilities and how increasing stats affects it.For example..  If I adorn a weapon with +4 defense, does that raise pure mitigation or does it raise a percentage of deflection, block or parry?Some clairification would be most appreciated.<div></div>

<DIV>+ defense gets added to your "base" avoidance. </DIV>

<div></div>To break it down even farther...How does avoidance break down and what portion is uncontested?Hypothetically speaking, if I had a choice of a +defense or +deflection item, would one be better than the other or would they both do pretty much the same thing?I apologize for being slow.. I'm simply trying to understand the avoidance breakdown better.*EDIT*Nevermind, I found the information I was looking for.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Fentan99 on <span class=date_text>01-04-2007</span> <span class=time_text>11:19 AM</span>

+deflection highest I believe, there was a post made 2 months or so ago on somebodies test, I think it was Drag that made the post, but I could be wrong.  Its 5 mins to much work for me to find.  Im lazy..<div></div>
