+X% Enhanced DefenseEDSame against players
Enhanced Defense raises the Defense of the item it is on by a percentage of that item's base Defense: +100% on a helm doubles that helm's base Defense. It does nothing for your other gear.
On an armor piece, flat +Defense from the same item is added after the percentage, so it is not multiplied. Ethereal items get +50% base Defense before Enhanced Defense applies.
Skills that change Defense by a percentage work on your total Defense and are separate effects. See also Enhanced Damage.

Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
