Defense Cap Per Level
For the cloth casters, it appeared for their Defense skill up to level 10:
Defense(max) = ((level x 4) + 5)
since my three casters had Defense = 45 at level 10. But from what I have gathered since a few have experienced into higher levels, the Defense skill drops to three points per level gain. That is, level 11 = 48, level 12 = 51, level 13 = 54, level 14 = 57. But since the maximum of all maximum is 145, three per level does not evenly divide into (145 - 45) = 100.
Anybody have any insight, especially at higher levels? Does it reach a point to dropping to two points per level, down to one?
So far, this is consistent with my experience as a cloth caster:
| Level | Defense Cap |
|---|---|
| 10 | 45 |
| 15 | 60 |
| 20 | 75 |
| 25 | 90 |
| 30 | 105 |
| 35 | 120 |
| 40 | 135 |
| 41 | 138 |
