Is there any formula for defense?

[BecomeMeguca]

I want to know how much defense really matters. Is there any formula to calculate how much damage you're taking?

[MareneCorp]

It's mostly [Enemy Attack+Critical Percentage] - Your defense = Damage you take. At least I think, but that logically works.

[sakraycore]

pretty sure the formula is a LOT more complicated than that. For one it's definately not just linear.

I would assume monster attacks use the same damage formula as player attacks. Each attack having it's own dmg multiplier aplied after an ATT-DEF stat comparison.
I Don't think there are any tables with the dmg multipliers for each attack for each monster right now, but vindiDB lists their ATT stats, so you can figure how much your def would reduce damage proportionally.
If a monster has 10k ATT and you have 4k def, getting an extra 3k def would halve all the dmg you take from that enemy.

I don't think it works like that. If you have more defense than the enemy has attack, you won't take one damage per hit. But if you have less attack than the enemy has defense, then you will, in fact, do one damage per hit.

No you will never do one damage per hit.

Maybe additional damage will push it up? I'm pretty sure it's possible to do a base of 1 damage per hit, although equipment and skills may make that go higher, I think?

[sakraycore]

I don't think it's possible to do 1 damage per hit since even a +0 weapon had 900 additional damage. This is a part that is added after the attack - defend check.

It does? Why doesn't it say that anywhere on the weapon?
