G-give it Back T---T; !! (Scholar Edition)

This, though I could have sworn it was more like 4%, 5%, and 7% (and that only by end of expansion).

(Fending gear has ~82% more M. Def than Maiming, Scouting, Striking, and Aiming, and Casters and Healers have only ~27% more M. Defense.)

Didn't maiming gear still have garbage magic def stats back in SB? I remember forgetting to click off B4B and dying to Ion Efflux at BiS.

Nah, the gave DRG the regular melee amount of Magic Defense not long after Ninja was added, I think? B4B is a separate story.
