This is not defensive skills but gives you an idea about weapon skills.
"For instance, take my test case (500 tests each rank). A level 20 with all 20's for stats using a T-350 shotgun fighting a level 30 with all 30's for stats using SiC armor.
Rank 0 (standard) = 2.65 hits per attack for an average of 168.2 total damage
Rank 1 = 2.98 hits per attack for an average of 193.7 total damage
Rank 2 = 3.09 hits per attack for an average of 210.5 total damage
Rank 3 = 3.37 hits per attack for an average of 237.8 total damage
Rank 4 = 3.51 hits per attack for an average of 268.1 total damage
Rank 5 = 3.68 hits per attack for an average of 301.8 total damage
Rank 100 (just for kicks) = 1 hit per attack for an average of 2,215.5 damage"
