So I'm looking through the gear I have unlocked for the paladin and I noticed that I can get his Deflection up to 99%. He is still using the Assault Leviathan and War Shield though.
Question is.....is deflection that good for the Paladin or should I have him focused on armor?

Perfect deflection would mean that an enemy would need more than a 100% penetration rate to get through for major damage. Armor is still important, but I would be happy with 99% deflection as you know for sure that no* massive hits will get through.

When an enemy attacks you, they roll a D100 against (you Deflection - their Penetration).
Say you have 99% Deflection, they have 40% Penetration. That means they are rolling a D100 against 59. They have a 40% chance of getting a Penetrating hit.
You can get Deflection as high as you can, it can go well over 100%. With 99%, Penetrating hits are going to be pretty unlikely with weaker monsters, but I wouldn't consider you safe yet from Goliaths or Narvidians.

I'm mostly using the Paladin as a medic and body guarding the engineer so he doesn't see a lot of front line fighting. He's had a pretty good run so far, thanks for the response.
