    • Level 72 - 91 --> 100 + 20*((Lvl+79 - 150) / 20)
    • Level 92 - 161 --> 120 + 15*((Lvl+79 - 170) / 70)
    • Level 162 - 713 --> 135 + 20*((Lvl+79 - 240) / 552)
  • The formulas for calculating Fire Defense on Vigor are as follows:
    • Level 1 - 30 --> 20*(Lvl / 30)
    • Level 31 - 40 --> 20 + 20*((Lvl - 30) / 10)
    • Level 41 - 60 --> 40 + 20*((Lvl - 40) / 20)
    • Level 61 - 99 --> 60 + 10*((Lvl - 60) / 39)
  • After adding both numbers together, the resulting number is rounded down for the UI menu

        This will tend to be high for most players, since everyone bothering to do PvP isn't going to have a low Vigor. Somewhat counteracted by the high damage of most fire spells, but you can't rely on multihit spells for chip damage as reliably as you can for Holy or Magic damage.
