What is your mitigation?

[Warakus]

well I have been as low as 19% mitigation in Off stance... seems kind of low. That and like I said I have had some instances where my defense mit was lower then the mit on my AC tip.

I certainly hope I dont have 19% mit in any stance non debuffed... thats just crazy.

Yeah the assumption is your defensive mit would be lower than your AC tip if you were at like 95% equip expertise wearing all gear above your level. It could also give you penalties for gear that is too low as well...who knows I haven't played with it enough. That is also why the difference between the two fluctuates.

An unbuffed mitigation of 20% seems perfectly reasonable to me (though I don't know your level or gear) when the amount of avoidance available is so large through the use of a shield. Not to mention the increases to mitigation through buffs.

As far as the 10% in defensive stance not giving the full 10%....that I am not sure of. It seemed like everyone was reporting close to the same numbers but maybe it's also level based. Maybe it's:
Level 10-19 = 9.6%
Level 20-29 = 9.7%
Level 30-39 = 9.8%
Level 40-49 = 9.9%
Level 50 = 10%

Quick check on Armor of Darkness

Not engaged= 9.5% added to my melee mitigation in my defense tooltip
DC4 = 13.3% added to my melee mitigation in my defense tooltip

If you can't give us sxxx that works, just give us fxing 15% like the other fxing tanks.
