I did some tests on the effects of varying amounts of defense. You can read about the results on my user page on the wiki.

Nice.
Well done. It's nice when scientists play video games.
I'm a little saddened that armor doesn't provide more defense, personally. I think that a full set of elemental armor should provide a bit more defense than the proposed ~40% against elemental.
Bravo!!
