Why is armor def so high with renewal?

[Peopleperson49]

Items that used to give 2def when equiped now give 20. Everything is 10x higher. Just a couple equips suchs as a footgear, armor, and helm make so that alot of monsters only hit for 1 damage. Anybody know why this is?

The def calculation changed. All gives more def now but is not limited to 100 anymore.

It just seems crazy but my level 50 thief only takes 1 damage point from soldier skeletons. That is with shop bought shoes, headgear, armor, and shield.

Is it possible you use pre renewal but the renewal databases?

[Peopleperson49]

I don't use the 3rd classes anyway, but I made so all classes go to base level 150 and are affected by renewal. But I might mod it and reduce the damage reduction from def/10.
