And uh, y'know how def caps at 75% reduction? Am I supposed to already have that capped at level 22, or is that one of the reasons this is still beta? >_>
The only way you'd have it capped at Lv22 is if you pumped all your points into DEF, got a bunch of DEF-raising sigils, and fortified your armour a lot.
...did you seriously do that last one?
Anyway, that reduction is based on your level. There's an optimal value for every level, and the game keeps track of that and modifies the % reduction accordingly. If your DEF can't quite keep up with the rate of increase of that optimal value, you'll begin to see the % reduction fall as you level up. Oh, if you have TOO much DEF, it doesn't go to waste either; while it will no longer have any effect on the % reduction, it will act as a buffer against DEF-lowering debuffs.
