I stick with my recommendation for the Def formula that I've said again and again in these threads:
Make the level of the equipment play a factor in the def formula. Rather than giving a general boost to def accross the board, make a certain ratio to the level of the equipment used as a multiplier. That is to say, make it so a 90 def, level 120 hat has comparable, if not better, damage reduction than a level 50 hat with 150 def. The change would not affect all those who are statless and striving for power, but would aid those who took a traditional build in terms of potion savings and potentially survival. Ultimately, this would give people a reason to think before deciding to go statless.
While I think this would work for W.Def, I don't think it would work for M.Def since characters get it from a primary stat. There would have to be a separate modification for that.
