Another Point:
Derek, Desi, AG, realm, and possibly others, we can carry on the discussion about Tanking here
134 Vigor, 177 Toughness, 146 Reflex, 208 Aim
I bet no one on this world, wielding a Melee Weapon, can hit over 50s on me. Not even ones with 200 Vigor because I just have to switch my Fancy Dress Coat to Fancy Leather Jacket, Fancy Riding Boots to Brown Boots, my Toughness will be well-above 200. Which I can assure you takes alotta damage
Note: That is to say, Dragunov mails me before the duel *he has 246 Vigor*
Assuming he attacks me in my normal dueling outfit, HotNSexy's Formula is correct,
my compounded Melee-Defense is: 177 x 0.75 + 146 x 0.5 x 0.75 = 187.5
His Vigor - My Defence: 246 - 187.5 = 58.5
Assuming the hits are on hands - with Hernado's - Probably around 100!
If he mails me first - I have time to be prepared:
My Stats will be: 194 Aim, 114 Vigor, 204 Toughness, 131 Reflex
Compounded Melee-Defense: 204 x 0.75 + 131 x 0.5 x 0.75 = 202.125
Estimation Hit on my hands: 60~70 per hit
Test battles not disallowed I presume
? Push-Duel doesn't work for level 99s do they
Edit: 1 minute later I looked up the Vigor-Ranking and I just realized dragunov spec 246 Vigor, along with quite a few others
PERFECT! We can finally have a more in-depth look on Resistance. Either I get pwned by Greatest, along with a few others', insane Shooting that completely obliterate my Reflex-Defense, or I tank others to 30-dmg-per-hit on Shoulders >.<
Another Point: My answers may well be wrong because I have not gone about dueling for a looooooooong time
Perhaps its time to find answers to these questions for once and for all
