How much does Rampart increase defense? Is it a percentage or a flat number? --Volkai 05:38, 23 November 2006 (EST)

• First of all, one thing to know is that Rampart defense bonus is only affected by basic defense(what i call basic is, without any gear on, but affected by defense modifying abilities, berserk and defender.).The bonus seems to be around 14%, as i tested tonight.With usual defense, no berserk, no defender, i had 153, Rampart raised it to 174(+21 defense).With defender, i was at 191, then at 207 thanks to Rampart(+26 defense).Finally, with berserk, i had 114 basic defense, and 130 using Rampart.That makes it a bonus around 14%, and i'd guess it's the same for magic defense, but there's no way to be sure(as long as i'm aware.Maybe PvP?)I'd need someone better at maths to get a precise percentage, and maybe more data.

Rampart defense bonus is not modified by the number of players in party, number of players in area of effect of rampart, or by protect.--Nebiros 02:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone know how much MND is needed for stoneskin not to be overwritten? Anyone tested this? --Wayka 21:17, 1 March 2007 (EST)
