Basically, my Melee Defence Skills are pretty good, as a TKM with a load of Pistoleer thrown in, and I have good Defence Vs... thanks to those skills.
However, I'm getting shredded when people fire at me with ranged weapons... 
Which Profession(s) would be a good way to augment my Ranged Defence skills? Rifleman seem to get some good ones, but are there any others? I'm not so much bothered about Dodge/Block skills, but would rather have some innate skills that don't rely on having class-specific weapons equipped. Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Tyl

The 4xxx tree of fencer has some nice ranged and melee defense mods, I think a total of +54 to each.

Thanks. I did 1-handed swords for a while before doing TKA... A shame I traded in all that XP for Force XP...

Do you have ranged mitigation also? It's pretty easy to get Ranged Mitigation 2.

Combine these two people's answers and you should be good hehe. 4/x/x/x fencer, ranged mitigation 2(3).

If you have pistoleer skills, stick with that- you can get ranged mitigation 1 & 2 and some good ranged defense.

Does Pistoleer have Ranged Defence bonuses? I can't recall seeing them (not to say they're not there) and I'm at around 1233 with my pistol skills, yet I get shredded by NPCs using ranged attacks, even when wearing armour with appropriate resists...
I'll have to check again...
EDIT: Just looked and it's a "Nope." Pistoleer gives Ranged Damage Mitigation skills, but only +5 Ranged Defence (at Master)...

Good question,
My Skills Are
TKM
Master Fencer
Swordsman 0040 (defense tree)
Pikeman 0040 (defense tree)
my melee defense is around 160 and my ranged defense is around 130 i think. Pretty good to me i think it might be capped im not sure when it is capped. Plus from swordsman and pikeman u get counter attack/dodge. But i have now way of healing my self lol

I read in another post here in this forum that melee def, ranged def, dodge, block, counterattack are capped at +125. Speed is capped at 100. You can go above those numbers but it doesn't add anything more so 125 melee def and 130 melee def are the same.

Lemme add, if you do pistoleer, do xx4x. You get cool specials and geo blaster certification (if you ever decide to pull out a pistol), ranged mitigation 2, and really good state defenses.
