I was alway under the impression that if I was say... a TKM but still had block skill mods from pikeman--I would be better at blocking even if i wasn't using a pike.

There seems to be some confusion among people about this.

Can we get some clarification?

Block/counterattack/dodge are weapon dependent. Besides toughness, the rest of the defenses are not weapon dependent.

Well, dodge/block/counterattack stack with each kind, but you will only get the increased dodge if you are using a 'dodging' weapon, i.e. pistol/fencer, same for the others. The stacking of these secondary defenses is most likely gone with the next publish.

Yes and maybe.

Yes you need the correct weapon out. Yes these stack across professions that share the same passive defenses. Yes this will probably be changed at some time. I suspect that it might changed not be for a bit yet, but I could be wrong.
