i was under the pretense the mitigation and dodge from melle and ranged is dependant on the attackers accuracy. the higher your defense the lower the attackers accuracy the more chance you have to dodge and the attacks will be mitigated for more.

has anyone tested wether the dodge bonus for the extra 50 - 60 defense for wearing 4 pieces of clothing is still in effect as this is the only real bonus TKM has against armour wearers who have armour break slices?

I've just tested this and in fact, when you re-equip your weapon it would appear that the MD/RD clothes do work.

I had a friend duel me and I put my +17 MD/RD bandolier on and off with my weapon. Once I re-equiped my damage went down by 1 or so as expected since defense affects both the chance to hit and the damage.

EDIT: I'm adding a transcript of my combat chat so you don't have to read the grainy screenshot.

No pistol, no bandolier
Hit for 148
No pistol, bandolier
Hit for 148 [bad! No effect]
Pistol, bandolier
Hit for 143 [Pistol defense mods kick in and maybe the MD/RD effects]
No pistol, bandolier
Hit for 147 [Slight effect so maybe working]
pistol, bandolier
Hit for 143

My screenshot is here. And here is some more background from my thread in the chefs forums.
