Defensive Bonus ?

[Argyle_Avendale]

What does it actually do ?

On 1 of the crafted chain wreaths ( circlet ), you can get this bonus when making the "new" armor with Perfected Armor Patterns :

Defensive Bonus : 5% ( PvE Only )

Im not really sure what it does exactly...

it gives u 5% in both block and parry (if u got the abilitys to start with)
this allso stacks with the block/parry% bonuses from cata gear.
its caped at 10% afaik.
so if u got 10%defence and 10%block and 10%parry u get a bonus of 20% in total =)

not sure if this works for evade ppl too but i guess it sould.

i tought it absorbed like 5% damage, but you will also do 5% less damage (in pve)
