2727 An incoming Slash hit of 285 from a Goat Leader at rank 0 melee DR lands for 285. At rank 3 Just a Flesh Wound (-12% melee damage), the same hit lands for 251, a 34-damage reduction. Stacking Conquistador Set 2P (+15% DR) and Tracker Set 4P (+15% DR) brings the cumulative DR to 42% for a final hit of 165.

3131 DR layers are additive across the talent, armor set bonuses, and armor-piece base values. A full Conquistador Set Toughguy can stack roughly 40% to 50% total melee DR once this talent and the set bonuses are combined.Does not apply to ranged (Pierce) incoming damage from Musketeer and Grenadier spawns. Those are governed by different damage-type rules.The DR percentage is flat, so it is most valuable against the large single hits dealt by Alpha Wolf-class enemies and bosses rather than against many tiny hits.
