Capping defense?
I understand that no form of defense in the game is the single most important form thereof (% reduction is just as necessary), but I'm at a loss as to how to max out my defense stats. I've seen battle mages cap out both types of defense easily, but what about the bowmen? Thieves? I've seen players with capped defense (when buffed) on non-tanky classes, and I have no idea how they're achieving it besides potentials getting wasted on DEF lines.

@aeswag: ...that doesn't make sense. Yes, all stats add a certain amount of one or both DEF types, but ATK does not affect DEF at all. I know this.
(1.2 * STR + 0.5 * (DEX + LUK) + 0.4 INT) = Weapon DEF. Switch INT and STR for Magic DEF.
@pitchblack0: Uh, you literally just said "strength applies to def." Of course there's nothing "more" to read into it. Your first post indicated either a) not reading what I said in the TS or b) not caring to add anything helpful, which is why I responded in kind.
Thanks for the info on other sources, guys. Closing the thread.
Hmm......alot of stuff. Dex, Tyrants, Garbage Pot line, etc. I actually have over 17,000 def due to a combination of those three things. Thats why when I use the skill Reckless Hunt that reduces my defense by 40% I am still at the 9999 cap.
i have all those stats capped and im just using empress/tradeable gear cubed for %luk and scrolled for atk/luk
Okay this confused me too but it's actually really simple. The higher your range (achieved through primary and secondary stat as well as attack) the higher your defense is. So really just work on damage/range and the defense will come naturally.

luk and dex add armor and mdef[/quote]
And are you not reading? No one's refuted anything you've said so I don't get why you're claiming we're not listening.
are you people not listening
luk and dex add armor and mdef
[quote=DemoDango]@pitchblack0: Read what I said. Thieves and bowmen add little, if any, to STR or INT. Yet I see some with capped def/magic def.[/quote]
Ignoring the items like tyrants and other equipment that give a ton to every stat. I never said they had to directly add from their sp pool into str/int. And I did read what you said fyi. Maybe you should have read a little more into my response (though I didn't think you would need to).
Tyrant/Nova equips and %all stat means any class can max every stat (w/mdef/avoid/accuracy). STR adds weapon defence, INT adds magic defence/avoid/accuracy, and DEX adds weapon accuracy/avoid.
all stats apply a bit of DEF, something like .5 x LUK = Wdef & M.def bonus from luk
% luk helps and i have max wdef with only around ~3.5k luk

strength applies to def
