I can't really think of any situations where you'd want to fulltime the MDB katana/lose your TP to take less damage from a spell.

Try fighting Empousa D:. I noticed a HUGE decrease in damage with shell + Mdef/MDB setup lol. Went from 1k dmg to 600 dmg a WS, and since it spams during flight mode... That's honestly the reason I'm going for a mdef setup lol. That being said I wouldn't get a MDB or two just for that one fight >.> lol

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! 25% MDT, enough to cap with Shell V. Can also replace one of the 2% pieces with a MDT augmented MKD hat if your second augment isn't tied up elsewhere (for instance, mine is waltz recast/MDT), or use it in tandem with the entire set if you're rocking Shadow Ring like the OP. For the remaining sets, I usually just keep my TP or eva gear on but if you want to reduce damage further I'd save some inventory space and throw on gear with INT rather than MDB since they double as nuking gear.

Also, isnt that 23% MDT? Unless lights day is 23+2% instead of the 23+1% I was thinking it was.

Capped Shellra V (27%) and it's MDT capped but otherwise yeah that is not capped. If you get Dark Rings instead you'll be capped though. Straight Shell V is 24% so in that case you need 26% on gear.

Yeaaah. Especially when it comes to Empousa, he only spams spells when in flight mode, and to hell with running in range to shellra V while its spamming 800~ dmg. Just spammed Shell V after initial Shellra V got dispelled @_@;;

What about magic defense bonus gear as opposed to MDT? I heard the MDB can be uncapped anyone care to comment?

MDT is better until capped.

And yeah, I miscounted. That set is 23%, mine also has the MKD hat so I'm at 25%.
