What was it that was rebalanced in Def/Prot? I see no change noteable other than now seeing yellow stats near them.

    The formula was altered so that protection is calculated before defense. Before it was Defense was calculated first then protection. This means that defense will get you more for its value. Basically we have a hypothetical character which has 10 Def and 50% protection and is set to take a 100 Damage hit.

    Old forumla: (Dmg - Def) * (1 - Protection value) = (100 - 10) * (1 - 0.5) = 45 Damage taken
    New formula: = (Dmg * (1 - Protection)) - Def = (100 * (1 - 0.5)) - 10 = 40 Damage taken

    As we can see, the new formula means that you take less damage and that 1 extra defense translate to blocking more than 1 damage.

    It's probably more correct to say that now 1 extra defence should always reduce damage taken by 1 (unless this means taking 0 damage from a hit) while before, someone with 50% prot would need to gain 2 def to see damage drop by 1.
