Savage lead with Sith Trooper

StevenFletcher

My Sith Trooper is sitting around 34% defence. With his unique that goes to 68%, and with Savage's leader you get another 17%, for a total of 85%. With 50% defence up during the battle, shouldn't his defence be 127.5%, making him untouchable? What am I doing wrong here?

127%+ deff don't make him invincible but harder to kill, say his defense is 1000, with that extra amount he would have 2270 def but heavy hitters do for 20k or more, so that would only make the opponents hit iou for 1270 hit points less that without defense gain
EDIT: it would be different If it was 127% damage reduction, that would make him untouchable ^_^

You do not consider diminishing. Each next percent of damage reduction requires more defence

Savage lead (maxed) gives him 75% defense

There is no way to mitigate all damage and also keep in mind, different toons have different amounts of armor penetration as well as attacks that ignore armor and/or do damage based on max health.

I think it's worth expanding on this.

Defense is a stat which ranges from 0 to infinity. This is the stat that is being increased by 127%.

Defense is used to calculate damage reduction, which is 0% at 0 and approaches 100% asymptotically (meaning it reaches 100% at infinity, in a non-linear manner). Calculating it all out would be difficult at best. It's easier to use clues the devs have given us about how much it is worth: in mods, 10% health seems interchangeable with 10% defense. So each ~1% increase in defense is worth ~1% increase in health.

127% increased health would be pretty awesome, and **** near untouchable.
