Vitality issue

[thesinecura]

Hey, I got four Sphene Rings (+5 VIT each) for my gladiator and decided to equip them and the 20 VIT I received did absolutely nothing (I am optimal rank), other than simply make the number go up. Yes, I am aware that VIT (or MND) on gear doesn't add HP (or MP) since there are those stats separate on gear already, however my physical defense only went up from the defense that the ring itself gives. So basically, with each ring I got +3 defense, and vitality did nothing. Am I misunderstanding the way the vitality attribute works? Please help.

stats on equip don't show the effect they give on your physical stats like defense going up with vit, or attack with str.
i even doubt that the VIT on the rings adds up to your defense bonus, but that's just what i think and why i'm full timing accuracy+ rings.
