I made a new thread about this bug here. For some reason the grammar of the old thread really bugs me.
______________________
EDIT: Upon further investigation, it does seem to be a visual bug. I got some DEF gear and tested with 18k DEF, and I take like 500 less damage compared to if I only have 10k.
It's odd, I did not expect DEF to scale that way. Raising DEF from 3k to 10k reduces my damage taken from 3000 to 1000, but raising it from 10k to 18k only reduces it from 1000 to 500.
EDIT2: So I checked the BB formula thread, and it seems like DEF past 10k only affects PDDPercentage and not PDDRounded or something like that? Because I'm still taking damage from ToT monsters with 18k DEF and that's kind of odd.
