Thread: def 4040 vs def 4400 for pvp
It is still not working properly....you still only get ranged defense modifers when holding a ranged weapon and visa versa with a melee weapon...

I'm not to sure if that is entirely correct... If your holding a saber you want melee defense. If you not holding anything, I think it's still considered melee (unarmed) and your choice would still be melee defense. The only time the range defense branch in defender will benefit you is if you are holding a ranged weapon. Why they would add a branch that does not apply to Jedi? I think because it is a simple coding error and will eventually (key word "eventually") get fixed.
Ranged def = defense against ranged attacks. Melee def = defense against melee attacks. Check the skill sheet, the descriptions explain it well. It was a bug, but it was fixed with pub24. melee def works while holding a ranged weapon and taking attacks from melee, and vice versa.

The ranged defense is working (def vs ranged attacks) in the tests I've done. Pica thundercloud (ranged defense food) is definitely working for me(jedi/saber), whereas it was not before.

You're right that is how is should work. You're wrong that it was fixed. As far as I know we don't even have an official comment that its broken. Until they fix it I"ll keep 4040 but I agree that the extra +12 innate armor is useful as well even if you don't benefit from the ranged defense.
just tested...still working as described in the sticky thread....
