Hello i know this may be a dumb question but im lost. I am cr 144 with a defense of 5,000 i feel really weak ive seen on youtube people with cr 110 that have 11000 did i do something wrong?
According to my prediction equation, the game expects you to have roughly 6000 Defense at CR 144 in Damage role. It sounds like your jewelry gear (neck, rings, mask, weapon) maybe artificially inflating your CR while your core gear (shoulders, chest, gloves, belt, legs, boots, helmet) maybe lagging behind in item levels. It is hard to know for sure without knowing the specifics of your gear.
Oh okay i think i get it i really do appreciate your guys help i made it to 6000 defense so im average right?
Go to that link I posted above and read up on defense. That should help you understand a few more things about others defense being higher than yours.
Sounds ok to me. With 6000 Defense at CR 144, you'll receive the intended amount of damage from enemy attacks. The way the Defense stat works is complicated. A player will encounter survivability issues if they boost their CR too much with non-Defense stat items like Rings, Masks, and Necklaces.
Use your shields. Learn when to block, dodge/roll, lunge and watch for skulls above NPC's head. Skull means it's about to get ugly.
