I don't know if it's just me but there seems to be something wrong with our ranged and melee defense mods. Specifically, I think they got reversed somehow or we had a stealth patch to give us a large melee defense bonus. For example, I've been slaughteringsavage humbabas on corellia ever since I hit flame 4 (I've burned through the hw xp also needing only 2 more boxes and the last combat xp box to master. and yes the pun was intended). What I'm seeing is whenever the humbabas run up to me and use their melee attack, they rarely hit me. However, if they get skittish and begin using their ranged spit attack, they land at least 80% of their shots (not to mention do full damage as my armor doesn't seem to protect against their spit). This seems a bit odd with having (not sure this is correct) +37 ranged defense and +10 melee defense (the only ranged and melee def mods I get are from marksman and what you get with 3,3,4,4 in commando).
For another example, just a bit ago I took down a rebel which con'd red to me while holding my flamer. I pulled him away from the rest of the rebs then ran up to him so he switched to melee attacks. I used flame2 and 1 on him then fired away until he was dead taking very little damage while I did so. The next reb I targeted and pulled con'd red just like the one before. This one however, used only ranged attacks and I was slain in a matter of about 30 seconds (he got a 791 mind damage special on me when my mind was already low from healing). Granted I still might have won if that mind shot he got off hadn't killed me but I'ld already used about half my mind healing due to him landing so many shots in the first place. Again, this seems odd for having around +37 ranged and +10 melee defense. It seems to me the melee should hit more than the ranged.
Anybody else encounter this?

Glad it's not just me. I was wondering if my pc was actually getting as messed up as I thought it was... good to know it's not. Reformatting my hardrive takes forever.

I was noticing this will killing pikets and tuskens this morning. When the tuskens had out their rifles, they hit me about 60-90% of the time. But when they came in for melee...nothing...I was able to solo pikets with no buffs or armor, because they just werent hitting me.Now I know what a fencer/pistoleer temploiter feels like....hehe...As much as I hate to say it, but I should probably report this huh?

I also noticed this yesterday. I was missed alot by TKA believe it or not.
I actually stood up after being KD/Dizzy. My Dizzy wore off quickly. I thought the guy
had a weak attack or something.
I wasnt complaining.

Hmmm I noticed the same thing, but I figured it was due to my pistoleer bonus' to melee defense.

I noticed this last night, I thought it was because I had just gotten Melee Mitigation 1 under TKA. I was fighting Baznitches and Rancors on Dathomir, they were missing alot...
