Damage reduction

[Manfa]

Question about DR - Does my DR against magic attacking enemys is lower if for example i have melee gear that has - magic defence? i noticed that almost with same DR melee gear in water dungeon water golems is hiting me max hit 500+ but with range gear that has no - magic defence and almost same DR golems max hit is 250 only

Defence and DR are not related. Defence affects only your evasion rate towards that attack style.

If you're asking about combat triangle modifiers they're affected by your attacking style, so your weapons. Not your armor.

Damage reduction is affected by the combat triangle. For example, if you are using ranged then your DR will be a bit higher against magic enemies. So, melee gets lower DR against magic but higher against ranged. And ranged gets higher DR against magic but lower against melee.
And, like stated above, your combat style is decided based on the weapon you are using. So if you equip a bow you will count as ranged even if your armor is not.
