the thing u need to remember about pvp is that defense if totally negated by force and tech attacks (which are a large percentage of pvp) and then Shield chance is totally negated by Crit which the hardest hitting abilities normally have some type of crit bonus added to it somewhere in the different trees of the class. For example after a leap juggs/guards get an auto crit so their smash isnt defendable because its force attack and isnt shieldable because its a crit. so really in top tier pvp the defense and shield stats are pretty crappy. They do however have their certain situations where they provide a decent mitigation however this is a small area. Again and decent team in pvp will have at least 2 smashers that put out 7-10k each hit of almost completely unmitigated damage.
