I may be wrong, but I think the Maximum effective defense is incorrect. The Brutish Wall converts all magic defense into pure defense, meaning that in order to level to have the most possible defense, you should level as a vocation which gives the most points possible spread across those two stats. looking at the stat growths page, the optimal path taken to achieve maximum possible defense(or magic defense with the use of Brilliance) is to level as Mage 1-10, Magic Archer 11-100, and finish with Fighter 101-200. This should give a total defense of 657, and a magic defense of 467, which when combined equals 1124 core defense. If you plug that number into the equation above, you should have 1601 total defense. This all hinges on my understanding of those two black cat items of course, and I won't pretend I understand what percentage of enemy damage such a stat would block (my math is pretty limited lol) but unless I'm wrong we should be able to achieve a somewhat significantly higher level of defense. That all being said, I think I'd still prefer to just grind those 200 levels as fighter, less complicated. Also I'd make a version of this rant for the magic defense page, but I'm pretty lazy, hopefully people reading this will be able to figure out you can do this with that as well if you're so inclined.
