Armor/defense question

[korkalon]

Armor its for getting more chance to avoid damage. But psyhical damage? Or any damage from ranged and spells too?

[redicomerade]

Psychical both meele and range like arrows. NOT spells

[Willshaper]

As has already been said:
Defense will reduce your chance to be hit by enemy attacks (Not including spells)
Defense on the other hand will not reduce the actual amount of damage that you take from said hit, "Damage Reduced by x%" and "Damage reduced by #" will do that.

[korkalon]

And what about chance to avoid damage """, it can avoid spells too?

[Gekko64]

yes

[conquerlol123]

So armor and defense are basically the same as evasion/dodge in other games?
