    Defense Vs. VItality

    I doubt this is an easy question, and I've searched around some but can't find an answer. So as a MRD/WAR how much Defense is worth +1 VIT? Right now I'm not very high level, so I doubt it matters a whole lot where I am currently, but I'd like to know for later. I keep debating between gear based on one having like 11 more Defense, but I'd lose 3 VIT, and situations like that. If someone could help, that'd be awesome.

    3 vit is equivalent to 2 def, but vit also slightly decreases damage taken from magic while def does not.

    Edit: just to add, Vit is also your secondary damage modifier on War. Ideally should aim to hit damage cap at ~300-310 vit then focus on other things as you get return on multiple areas with vit up to that point.

    VIT also increases your damage output. VIT > DEF in all scenarios for WAR/MRD.
