did PLD get another DEF Bonus tier recently, the reason why i ask is this:-
DEF = Base DEF + Gear/traits/etc.
DEF = ([VIT/2] + 8 + Level + 10) + Gear/Traits/etc.
DEF = ([89/2] + 8 + 95 + 10) + 60
DEF = 158 + 60
DEF = 218
FFXI is telling me my DEF = 232 (naked PLD95/WAR47) and thats a difference of 14
The DEF Bonus tiers scales like so
Defense Bonus I: +10
Defense Bonus II: +22
Defense Bonus III: +35
Defense Bonus IV: +48
Defense Bonus V: +60
Defense Bonus VI: +72 (going by the pattern)
this still leaves a difference of 2
DEF = ([89/2] + 8 + 95 + 10) + 72 = 230
could there be a new formula for Base DEF above a certain level thats unknown or does PLD get another DEF Bonus Tier
