I can clarify that if anyone tells you that Melee and Ranged defense do not stack they are misinformed. The developers have made absolutely 0 comment on this as far as nerfing it. The only thing likely to be nerfed is dodge counterattack stacking between two weapon types.
What you want to do would require a huge amount of combat grinding and would make you rather difficult to kill but nothing more.
TKM/Master Fencer is an awesome combo. If you are all melee you will have weakness. TKM/Master Rifleman/Fencer stances/pistol stances is just about as close to bulletproof as you can get.
Hope that helps

I am TKM/Mswordsman/fencer3203, Im working on mastering fencer. Defenses do stack only dodge/block/counterattack do not. You are hard to kill, but you still have to chase people around. Im hoping when Im done KD and Dizzy will be of little consecuence. If so, I will be very hard to beat in melee combat, and might stand a chance against the damned Rifleman/ion rifle combo.
Its a whole lot of grinding though.

i've been told different things, but if i train up master swordsmen to be my profession, and then master fencer, the trees in TKA, and the tree in pikemen that has defence bonuses, would those carry over to when i am using swordsmen
i am thinking of making a hardcore melee, and id love to get tons of bonuses to dizzy/knockdown and the like by training up extra trees....but i've been told it works that way, and thatit doesnt...can anyone clearify?

Defenses are in flux at the moment and we'll have to see what happens to them in the coming future. I suspect that most will continue to stack although the benefit from this stacking may be lessened.
Currently all defenses but dodge/block/counterattack/defensive acuity stack. Dodge stacks between professions that have it. So a fencer/pistoleer will get a very large dodge bonus. HOwever this is known to be an unintended feature of the combat system and it is widely suspected if not known that this will be changed soon.
Most of the other defenses stack although I would not be surprised if the way that they stack is altered in the coming future. Possibly even removed. In short, we can't really be too sure of anything until we see more about this coming combat rebalance.
