How to calculate the Defense Stat?

How does the game calculate the defense of a character with buffs that go (increase defense by 100% etc for blah)

for example, If i run a stormtrooper that has a base value of 30.82% defense (premods), where mods totals are +59.24% defense and +49 defense, leading to an ending value of 42.8% defense. Now enter battle, where he has +200% defense from empire allies and +50% from defense up buff, and then an additional 30% defense for being an imperial trooper.

This means that he has 280% of his defense of 42.8%, which obviously does not equal a 119.84% damage reduction.

How much damage reduction does he actually have? what is the damage reduction cap, if any?

    Everything you never wanted to know about defense (Armor/resistance)

    Edit: Short version mods, buffs, debuffs, lead/unique abilities affect armor/resistance which is a flat number that you don't see anywhere, used to be what we saw in game but an update changed it to damage mitigation.

    This flat number is then converted to the damage mitigation % you now see in game.

    I remember racking my brains for days trying to help figure all that out.

    The darn opened gear level armor/resistance was killing us.

    Defense has been the trickiest stat. You guys hammered it out though.
