imo,it doesnt benefit all, based on my experience as an elton-john mage ahaha..
coz in that game, mages dont totally rely on PD coz and i accepted the fact that no matter how many def balls i put in my equips, my def wud still suck like a lump of shi*(i said ship).. ahahaha..
anything bout magic is good for mages.. dodge is a plus..
but definitely not PD, 0_0
remember, we got shields ^_^
..erm anyways, baaaaaah why am i sayin this, quitted like forever still entangled with it ahaha...
but uhm, yea, nvm what i said.. =x
