Defense doesn't add up

[Diantane]

I have a L32 FF MM. Before summoning any bots:

 

Personal Defense

Evasive Maneuvers = 13.5%

Dispersion Bubble = 10.77%

Hover = 2.25%

Total 26.52 %

 

Summon Protector Bots. My defense drops to 23.79% even though one of them adds Force Shield (10.77%) to me.

 

As soon as I dismiss the bots, my defense goes up to 37.29%

 

An ideas?

 Evasive Maneuvers provides a moderate amount of Defense even while on the floor, but this defense is lost if you attack, buff allies, give an order to pets or interact with a mission objective

So what's the advantage to having Evasive Maneuvers at all?

i do not use it.  its a power pick that does not bring me closer to a goal.  leadership manuevers is common for me

-Fly/Immob/KB prot, flight speed/control, LotG slot. Fantastic power.

This, everything is valuable here. Especially since this + hover is extremely respectable unsuppressed flight speed. Makes combat much better feeling.

You're the only one who can answer that. Having it turned on increases Hover speed, as well as Fly speed, it increases KB protection, it gives protection against -fly effects. And yes, it adds another one slot wonder for LotG 7.5%.

 

If this is important to you or not only you can say. Personally I love it since it turns Hover slow crawl to a fast jog and increases Fly speed to almost reach the cap and I'm starving for places to slot LotG.
