Defense stats and end game

[Ben]

Hi guys, i have now 412 armor. This discussion is about discussing late game tankyness.

Physical Damage Reduction (see fextralife link) is:
PDR = 1 - 80/(80+Defense).

This gives the following results for defense 1 to 501 (Rows are defense point, %PDR and %PDR per defense point compared to previous plot)

481 86% 0,26%
491 86% 0,25%
501 86% 0,24%

Considering i have reached the 84% zone, i believe there is absolutely no point investing more in defense. Also, i havent found any element resist t2/t3 decoration yet, am I missing something?
