1. -1% overall damage penalty per level.
2. I think the way Fiel introduced the new defense variables just confused the hell out of everybody because there seems to be a general misconception that there is a PDRate and then another defense variable. PDRate is weapon defense as much as tuc is the number of upgrade slots on your items. All defense was changed to being a multiplier instead of a flat reduction.
(It's because of the misconception that I avoid using the terms PDRate and MDRate as much as possible. It's just weapon and magic defense.)
