Having higher mdef makes you resist sleep/hold better. To resist shock depends on CON, or resist shock buff or shock resist armor bonus.
Hmm, yes having CON does help to resist shock, but WIT does the same thing for Sleep, Hold, Fear and Silence.
So in saying that, wouldnt M.def just be like a check to see if it gets to your CON / WIT check, so basically lets look at it from a roll of a dice, you have two ways to block a magical attack, first check is ethier CON / WIT, if it passes through these it then checks M.def.
Im not really convinced that M.def really helps when it comes to Shock, Sleep, Silence, Hold and Fear effects and its more to do with CON / WIT which would explain why its so hard to do these effects to people with high CON / WIT.
Im leaning towards M.def just being a damage cushion for DD's and DoT's.
con effects your resistance against shock
wit effects your resistance against sleep hold or any magic debuff
that being said haveing high con increases your chance of resisting stun by alot
haveing high wit vs a bsps'ed sleep from someone 20 lvls lower really doesnt do much
men also helps resist sleep but only in the way that, higher men = higher mdef
Its true, WIT increase chances to resist sleep, hold, etc
However, this will change in C5, MEN will take over.
So in C5, MEN will increase chances to resist ...

Oh great, so now there messing about with the stats again, anything else other then MEN / WIT getting changed?
