i thought mellee defense caped at 100 but you could add up to 25 in be clothese armor attachments and clothing attachments. but i looked at my mellee defense and it said 104 with no enhancements on. is this a bug or is the cap higher than 100?

Melee and Ranged Defenses both cap at 125 from player skills, but attachments can take them above cap up to a maximum of 25, plus the squad leader bonus goes above and beyond the cap too. In theory if you had 125 melee defense from profession skill boxes, a +25 skill tape, and were grouped with a master squad leader you could have 180 melee defense

What exactly do defences do? Do they make you harder to hit? Do they rduce the damage you take? Do they reduce the severity of state attacks? I know they are good to have, but for what?

melee defense makes you harder to hit (-% to enemies' accuracy)
melee toughness makes you take less damage (flat % reduction to damage absorbed)
melee mitigation reduces the maximum damage you can take (-% to enemies' max damage)
"defense vs." makes it harder to stick states on you
defense acuity skills (block, counterattack, dodge) add an extra chance to avoid an attack

Thanks, I knew what the rest did but just wasn't sure about the actual "melee defense."
