UPDATE - an in-depth thread about this question can be found here:

For interests sake, you can still read my thread, but it's more or less all there ^^
Before I start, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. But the conversation with Gekrakel, Terrell and Witty left me with some questions.
Melee defence, magic defence and range defence all cap at 80%. So stats-wise, once you reach 170/170/170 for Constitution/Willpower/Cunning, your defences can't get any better.
But what about equipment? If you are at the cap for defence, what does a "+12 % ranged defence" armour accessory actually do?
What about passives? Do "Turn the bolt" (50% ranged damage reduction), "Turn the blade" (20% damage resistance from the front), or "There is no darkness" (10% elemental resistance) do anything? Are "damage resistance" and "damage reduction" synonymous, or will one continue to help even at max defence? Are elemental resistance, spirit resistance and magic resistance the same thing?
If this has been covered elsewhere, we obviously don't need another thread and I can just refer to that. But if not, it has big implications for builds and equipment load outs!
Questions I never thought I would be in a position to ask
