How "defense" Works

When making a character, you'll notice how each class has varied stats in the "defense" section. What exactly is this referring to? Armor is universal for all classes, so how exactly does one class have better defense than the other?

 

I don't actually exactly know. All I know is that Mage has 80% defense, Warrior has 120% defense, Assassin has 100%, and Archer has 60%. Maybe it's % additional/less to your current defense?

 

I think defense reduces damage taken now.

 

It's like if you having 10 points in defense then if your warrior it will count as 12 if your archer it's 6 if your Mage it's 8 if your assassin its ha I think you get it :D

 

I'm pretty sure that archer was 80%, warrior was 120%, assassin was 110% and mage was something else between assassin and archer. Not sure whether they changed it or not though. They probably did nerf the assassin defence since assassin, according to them, needed a nerf.

 

the defense values used to be like this warrior>assassin>mage>archer
now I think its warrior>mage>assassin>archer
basically defense blocks part of the damage you were supposed to get.

 

All the classes have a set amount of stats hidden where you can't see them. If you have one of each class with the exact same armour and weapons that deal the exact same damage, you can see them in action. Archer will do the most damage, followed by assassin, warrior, then mage doing the least. Archer will take the most damage, followed by assassin, mage, and warrior taking the least. Range should be obvious, and I think the spells stat just refers to the usefulness of the spells.
(Yes, assassin actually has less range than warrior)

 

This is from the News post Salted made recently, and should therefore, in theory, be correct.

 

The formula is cut out ;-;

 

He must have changed it I guess, unless wherever I got the information from previously was wrong.
