    1. Check barb guides. I know it's out there somewhere. I probably even wrote it in one of mine but can't be bothered to look for you right now.

    2. Use the PW Character Simulator, experiment some, and figure it out.

    i used the character simulator and found out that every 4 vitality, physical defense go up by 1.

    Vit is a multiplier. The more base pdef you have the more vit effects it. It's somewhere around 3 vit=1% more pdef, so 300 vit per 1x multipler.

    Strength also effects defense and is slightly stronger.

    Just doing a quick test in PW calc. It indeed has a multiplying component. But much smaller than that.

    A naked char has 3 def. Adding 300 vit makes it 70 and a bit. where does that come from ?

    A char with ~1500 armor from an item has ~1600 armor (used an armor with -100% requirements so its base stats) Where does that extra come from ? Adding 300vit increases it to some 1950 or so. So that seems to be more like 10vit is 1%.

    Anyway, gotta do other things now so im not going to test it further now. Seems like the formula is probably a bit weird though. :)

    I remember years ago I got 15 vit as my answer, lol. But retesting today I just put 100 def on a pair of level 1 boots and added vit till I got 100 more (starts with 5 vit and 5 strength so those effect it. I elft it at level 1 incase level adds def).

    http://www.pwcalc.com/9c61a5d915f04a0a 104 def, 5 vit
    http://www.pwcalc.com/111c36d29b39833e 204 def, 305 vit.

    Edit: Hmm, I see an issue. I can reduce my boots to 0 pdef and I've still gained 75 pdef. I think every 4 vit you get 1 def, plus its a multiplier. So both a static add and a multiplier add. So if 300 vit results in a gain of 75 pdef from static and only 25 as a multiplier value that'd make 12 vit per 1%, or 1200 vit for 1x multiplier.

    Gonna bump this and ask people to also consider the strength multipler. How many strength points per +1% armor defense.
