Defense is the armor and resistance stats.
Are you sure?
Yes.
If you look at gear as you equip it, when it mentions Resistance or Armor at all, it lists it as a specific integer. An item will give +9 armor (just as a random number). That cumulative integer value (based on items, mods, and Strength or Tactics) is then expressed as a percentage based on...….. Something. Probably level maybe? Unfortunately we don't know what that is. What we DO know, from before the Armor/Resistance expression was changed to a percentage, is that small integer increases can result in disproportionately high percentage increases (Usual armor for attackers were something like 40 or 50, and for tanks maybe 70--I think the highest was 100, so adding +5 armor to 40 means a big increase).
Percentage increases will increase that cumulative integer (which, again, we don't know) by that percentage.
