i got
125 cap range def
122 (il check that) melee def
and the combat equal thing from tk

PVP: Defense stacking is great against conventional damage attacks, but you will suffer against Combat Medic DOTs unless you have a pocket doc following you around.
At the moment, melee/ranged defense can be skill stacked up to the 125 cap. Then you can add an additional +25 from attatchments. Then boost it even more with vegepersine (melee defense food), and the ranged defense food (forgot the name). All in all, you can get your defenses to about 175+, which is higher than most profession's natural accuracy (especially jedi). TKM's and BH/Carb/Pistol Kings won't have a problem hitting you though since their accuracy is well over 175.
Overall, I don't recommend stacking defenses unless you are a fencer with an uber stun baton and a surplus of docs and cm's to heal you.
Jedi are NOT affected by melee defense
fyi
