Do Ranged Defense and Melee Defense Mods work only for PvP (people who are using a ranged weapon or melee weapon) or do they increase your defense against mobs as well?

They work in PvE as well.

something i never really thought about till recently... because i always assumed that melee defense meant your chars ability to defend against melee attacks, and ranged def was the ability to defend against ranged attacks. I'm a BH and was eating vegeparsine with melee def +101,assuming it was giving me def against melee attacks. but some dude said that melee profs use it to give them defensive abilities while using a melee weapon... In the skill boxes it says melee defence is the ability to defend against melee attacks. Is it different with food buffs?


I didn't think this was the case, but wanted to look into it further.

They have been fixed and are now working properly, including the food.


I tested this the other day.


The mods are now Defense versus attacks.

Just so I'm clear,


Melee def = def against melee attacks,


Ranged def = def against ranged attacks, right?


Thanks for the info.

Which is exactly why people are missing so much after this patch IMO. The mods are fixed.

It does after the fix yes. this is the way it is supposed to work but was working as Defense with a melee weapon for awhile.
