I think melee def caps somewhere way before that anyways, I think it's the same number counterattack, dodge, and block caps at.

he's refering to the CU... devs haven't said what caps will be in place/where ((I would assume it's much higher than what the caps are at now considering the .tre rips of Jedi Defender showed them having like 230 melee def or something like that))
don't forget CoB adding 250 Defense!!! 540 total.. weeeeeeeeeee

ya it is capped at 125 on live but atm we have no clue if it is capped in the CU. but if there is a cap i think 125 would be about right.
and also to disprove any theories about defences stacking now.. they still stack but they dont stack between range and melee professions.
like i have 40 melee defence some from the fencer tree and some from brawler tree which gives me i think 40 melee/range def. i equipe a 2-hand cleaver and i still have 40 melee/range. same thing happens if i go unarmed. however when i equipe a cdef pistol my melee/range def goes to 0 because i do not have novice marks.

you mean where i see this?
in teh new Crtl C window it shows your melee/range def and your Speed/accuarcy with the current weapon equiped.
this is on TC-5 of course.

As you go up the skill tree and gain more defenses their impact drops directly. So first 50 melee defense points will have great impact on your toon, 50 points after you already have 250 will have very little effect.

You are looking at it incorrectly
There is now specific Profession defenses and then general ranged/melee.
The general ones will stack with any profession, while the profession ones only stack with the specific class.
Ex. When I equip a swords I have 50 Melee def (10 gen + 40 Prof)
When I go unarmed I have 20 melee defense (10 gen + 10 Prof)

Melee defence caps at 125.... If you are master fencer/master brawler you can get the cap.

that is in the old system. there has been no word on if there is a Cap in the CU. also Melee defence works a bit diffrently now.

TKA/BH/Commando 3xxx, plus the force defences and you reach 315 melee d while unarmed.
