Too much that I don't know what the hell some stuff means, someone do explain.
Look:



can someone explain to me what the hell does that "Defense Rate Lowered +11%" mean?
Cause I really can't see how 69 became 133 or 81 becoming 105.

Given:
I'm wearing Taikun Magatama: Increases P.Def and M.def by 22% and 23% respectively while adding the buff "Rest".
it doesn't explain how that reached that value. Either a typo or a bug.

Now, Back to the problem WHAT DOES IT REALLLLYY DOOOO?

Tbh, I've tried getting hit by mobs at Shinoda Forest:
It felt like I had a passive Magic Barrier and Unbreakable Defense buff active when I'm wearing the Sparrow magatama.

Either this is armor penetration or just decrease your own defense when you wear it.

However, despite the naming, My defenses rendered the damage of odin to drop from 400 to 310.
That's why.... I don't think so.

Here's what I've come up with, take note that I could be wrong, and most likely am.

Sparrow Mag adds +133 P.Def in total, it's base defense is 69, 133 - 69 = 44, now, where does that extra 44 p.def come from I thought? Well, after a couple of calculations, the one that came close was that the Taikun Mag's +22% P.Def stacked with your Sparrow Mag's base defense, resulting in the calculation: 22 % 69 + 69 = 84.18, now here's the fun part, for some reason the stacked P.Def get's cut in half, 84.18 / 2 = 42.09, the extra 2 defense probably comes from the +2 Vit on the Sparrow Mag is what I figured. But anywho, why does the stacked p.def from the Taikun Mag get cut in half? Could be a nerf, a little niche in the encoding, who knows? That is, if my formula is correct of course. (Ah, who needs a cup of coffee when you can just do math in the morning.)

If we take your calculation (69+(69.25))+18 with the +18 being +2vit I'd end up with 104, unless even the small additives get the 22% too...... but enough about how it got there, WHAT does the 11% defense rate lowered do? Guessing a typo. can anyone confirm this?
So... what does it do then.

The attack bypasses the defender's defense by x%.

Speaking of which the mdef is correct, (81+4(2Vit=4Mdef))*1.23=104.55~=105. Only the Pdef is completely off, (69+12.4)*1.22 =/ 133. Rest means you recover hp faster while sitting

Buuh, completely forgot Vit adds more than 1 def, silly Taicho (^ ^;)7
