Quick noob question:

If I have Teras Kasi melee defense bonuses, do they still apply when I have my carbine equipped? This is a specific example, but if you could enlighten me on what bonuses do apply (damage mitigation, e.g) and which don't when using a different weapon, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

The only defenses that are weapon specific are dodge/counterattack/block/defensive acuity. melee/ranged defense and all state defenses stack up to 125. I also think that melee and ranged mitigation work regardless of the weapon that is equiped. This also holds true with combat equilibrium.

the range and melee defense will apply, as well as any def. vs stun,dizzy etc..but the mods like counterattack, dodge and block wont. Like if you had +20 counterattack, it would only work with a carbine equiped or a profession that gave a similar bonus (like swordsmen). I believe the migrations will work with whatever you equip. Remember that ranged/melee defense, counterattack, dodge and block are all capped at 125
