but, are those state defenses high enough to rely on? I can drink mist to get that dizzy to 60...but still, that high enough? Im told state defenses should be in the 80's to be effective

I think all defenses need to be in the 80's or higher for PvP to be effective.....Ranged and Melee Defense can be nice in PvP but only after you get State Defenses.

Think about the odds for a moment.....the State Defense Modifier is like a % (remember there is always a 5% chance to get hit even if mod is over +100). Now take a +60 Defense vs. Dizzy which means you have just better than 50/50 dice roll each time.....and when somebody is firing at you once every second, well it won't take long to have Dizzy and the KD/PD on you

For me personally it would be ranged/melee defense.. to have them capped can be really useful, even in pvp because some of the most dargerous professions (Pikeman, Swordsman, Rifleman at point blank,...) have quite low accuracy... when they're blinded it's divine.

State defenses may be more useful in general in pvp, but when you compare 40 - 60 state defense with capped meele/ranged defense the choice is obvious for me.

Well I don't think CAPPED melee/ranged defense was an option....but of course having that capped vs. +60 State Defenses would be better

If anybody needs a character builder Kodan has a great one, it is linked in the FAQ
