i know pikemen get the shaft when it comes to defenses, but
after this next publish will we be able to use defense stacking?
i know there are going to be caps, but fencer still has good def,
someone had told me that if you arent wielding the weapon you wont get the def mods
if this is true i can no longer be a pikeman
unless i loot a 400 mind fire pike with 100%pot and -1 uses

no it's only capped for 2ndary defenses, which means defense v blind, etc will STILL work, AND it doesn't matter what weapon u r holding for those defenses

i read this again and again and cant understand what u saying ..... so are only the secondary mods ( vs blind , vs kd, etc) going to stack with mods from other professions and melee/ranged defence wont ? Also how about hte passive skills like evasion , block , dodge etc ?
can u plz show me where u get this info ? ( tho i dont mind about an answear without info 
)

This is the exact wording from the publish notes:
l Added a cap to defensive skill mods (block, dodge & counterattack) to prevent near invulnerable defenders. (Correspondent Issue).

When I checked yesterday my +184 melee defense was still there.
