well, there could be some confusion around what is and is not high defense.. the simplest example i can give is.. crabs have high defense.. elementals don't. normally this is one of those things that only matters so far.. since either way.. you kinda sorta wanna nuke it.. the distinction comes into play in that normally, you could eventually overpower a mobs defense with enough attack, but you can't overpower a mobs damage resistance. since the attack function will eventually cap, then the resistance is applied afterward, even level 1 elementals act like they have high defense (or at least, way higher than other lvl 1 mobs)

requiscat is SUPPOSED to be a way around that, but since it has a pretty serious attack penalty applied to it, i doubt it will be all that good even against the mobs it's meant to be used on.. basically.. if you're fighting a mob strong enough to matter.. all requiscat will do is trade that damage resistance, for the effect of the mob BECOMING high defense (since you lost so much attack) it's sort of a why bother situation, i guess technically you could stack on massive amounts of att and in theory cap attack even with reqs -20%, but that will be impossible against most mobs of any merit. highly disappointing.


but while we're here.. what has anybody heard about the dagger weaponskill? is IT at least an upgrade over evisceration? i mean, still sucks if we're stuck using those 3 non magian daggers we have access to but it might be an upgrade at least?
