Does enemy defense reduce damage from class abilities and passive effects, and does it apply once per engage?
Several experienced players agree; there is no official ruling.

Yes. Enemy defense is subtracted from damage from class abilities as well as from engages. Each separate action is checked against defense on its own, while all damage dealt within one engage is reduced by defense once, so many small abilities do not stack to get past it.
