>Mdef has both a soft and a hard cap
The only cap on mdef is when you reach the point at which the enemy has 5% chance to hit. This depends on the enemy but for a couple late game ones (chosen, orc warrior, honor guard) which have 75matk, it's around 90 mdef, prior to any applicable modifiers.
How many bros are going to reach that level, especially without a shield?
Anybody claiming that increasing mdef past a given value when the enemy you are going to fight hasn't reached the 5% minimum to hit chance doesn't understand how the mechanics work.
