Does Two Weapons help against Thrown Spells?

This is how I read the rules (and spells mentioned under Defend definitely does not fit the rest of the rules).

DODGE works against:
- missile spells (and no other spells)
- missile weapon attacks
- thrown weapon attacks

DEFEND works against only melee physical attacks from a front hex. These include:
- adjacent melee attack
- pole arm jab
- pike attack
- whip attack
- hammertouch spell punch (this is just an enhanced melee attack)

Thrown spells cannot be dodged or defended. Rules say intervening bodies do not block it, so you are not going to block it with your sword and shield.

I don't see how DEFEND would work against staff occult attack, although before that was a thing we used DEFEND against staffs. Would DODGE help against a two hex ranged staff occult attack?
