Is this equal to defense level just without reducing magic damage? Or actually better than that if we are talking about only phys damage?

    No, they run on completely different formulas.

    Asterelle has probably posted it around somewhere, or there might be info in the Wiki.

    oh you were talking about the add "Reduce Physical damage taken", whereas i assumed that you were urging pwi to reduce the physical damage in game.
    an easy mistake to make, since nowadays sins, bm, e.g. are the new nuker class that runs around one-shotting people with their insane damage (without the limitation of slow cast and channeling of real nukers). the only thing actual nukers can do is rage while they turn green with envy. b:chuckle

    In general for "Reduce Physical Damage Taken" each percentage point will reduce physical damage more than 1 defense level will. As the stat increases, the marginal benefit of each additional percentage point increases (i.e. if you have 10% you will take 90% of incoming damage, an additional point will reduce that to 89% for a relative change of 1.11%).
