depends, if you are a fencer get dodge til cap then get melee defense,

bh get dodge,

smuggler get accuracy line

dodge is good in PvE but isn't too effective in PvP without fencer, CoB and food while melee defense could help without other things

My philosophy is this:


Dodge is a great defense - they can't hurt you if they can't hit you.


Melee Defense can be easily increased with BE clothing - it's a lot easier to buy bonuses to Melee Defense than it is to buy Dodge (though Pikatta Pie helps for short periods).

The way I see it dodge will be more effective since it applies to both range and melee damage.

Note however that dodge only applies when you have your pistol or 1-handed weapon in hand.

if your using a pistol or fencer weapon, then dodge of course is great and more useful then melee defense i say
