Defensive stance 10% ( I allways forget the actual stance names)
thats 14% not counting armor or buffs.
Now when I hit my def stance.... The mitigation does not go up... but in defense it does. Again I have 2 seperate numbers. Most times by adding these 2 up I end up with around 60 ish in def... which seems right to me.
Defense cant be our total mit becuase it can be lower then AC.... that doesnt make sense... if it was allways higher then it seems like then it might be your total mitgation. I could be wrong but it made sense to me when someone told me. and I could be wrong... but honestly.. I seem to mitgate just fine.. that being one of the very few issues.. I have no issue with. I can tank just fine and have plenty of working abilities to help me survive lots of damage.
hopefully someone can give a real answer to the mitigation puzzle.

The defensive stance adds mitigation..not AC..so your armor class will NOT go up. The difference between tooltip AC mitigation and tooltip defense mitigation is usually small, which leads me to believe that it's a bug in some calculation, like how our other % spells don't always give a straight 10% but a 9.6% or something.
The 'Defense Rating' is just a sum of all of your defensive stats. I really don't think you add your 'AC mitigation' with your 'defensive mitigation'. A dev responded before, I'm pretty sure, that your denfensive mitigation is a sum of all of your mitigation.
"Now when I hit my def stance.... The mitigation does not go up... but in defense it does. Again I have 2 seperate numbers. Most times by adding these 2 up I end up with around 60 ish in def... which seems right to me. "
AoD does not add to your AC by 10%, just your final mitigation value (which is better anyway).
So pretty much, I think it would be silly to just add the two and call that your mitigation.. The tooltip in 'defense rating' for melee mitigation is your mitigation percentage, taking into account items, racials, AC and stances, I believe.
