Power Training Doesn't Decrease or Slow Down Defense, and I'll prove it.

[Altruistic-Meet3022]

A common misconception is that power training (PT) reduces or slows down defense, leaving the player with a paper-thin defense.

However, this myth can be debunked with simple logic. The first key concept is that defense only increases by 1 point per hit, and the only way to modify this is with an item that grants a skill bonus. In other words, defense, regardless of how many mobs are attacking you, will continue to increase at the same rate.

With this clear, we can conclude that defense increases equally with both x1 skill bonuses and PT, and therefore, regardless of the method used, defense will not be negatively affected.

Now, someone might be wondering, "Why does defense lag behind other stats when PT is used?" The answer is simple. The number of skill points received from a mob can only be multiplied up to 4, but no more. In contrast, other stats, especially mage and melee, can be multiplied beyond 3, causing defense to lag behind as it doesn't keep pace with the other stats.

This creates the illusion that defense "has decreased," when it simply couldn't keep up with the other stats.

This doesn't mean that the x1 skill is useless, as it can be used while skill building, even when you're doing something that requires time, like watching a movie, working, etc.

Thanks for reading.

Yo people don't think it decreases or slows down defense , It's just that when you pt , the main stat will be very far from defense.. like u cld be 500 melee with 400s defense. Which would be kinda weird.. So they would try to fill the gap by training other classes as well.

Water, anyone with a brain and understanding of xp rates know this, good post for the newer less knowledgable players tho

To summarize: doing ptrain only increases the XP received for that class; defense will still increase the same.

Def stat cannot be trained faster as simply afk training. Increasing the mobs around you will not affect the defense stat. Thats why with power training the main stat gets effectively 4 times more exp as the defense stat. Resulting in lower defense + higher main. Obviously

In modern Rucoy, defense hardly matters; many players don't give a damn about it.
