Deprotected Zone doesn't list it's formula

Bug Description :
Deprotected Zone doesn’t show its full description. This is how it looks like atm:

The game files have the full description translated though:

SKILL_20150317_001435	Create magic circle that continuously decrease the defense of target.
SKILL_20150317_001436	Defense -#{CaptionRatio}#{nl}- #{CaptionRatio2} per overlap #{nl}Magic circle duration #{CaptionTime}# seconds

Deprotected Zone: -8 Physical defense, Re-applies 4 times(+2 per lvl), Duration 8 secs(+2 per lvl)
Charges: 1

Leveling the spell doesn’t increase the Pdef reduction. It doesn’t stack either, just re-applies it.

It has an attribute that enables stacking the debuff up to 10 times but only available to Clerics C2 if I remember right.
It also has another attribute that increased the Pdef reduction by 1 per level.

I’m pretty sure it stacks without any attributes, or at least it did in iCBT. Because I was whacking mobs for ~50 damage and with each debuff applied (x2, x3, x4, x5) I was hitting for 10 damage more.

Found this

(Defense reduction/duration)

and here you can see it with bearkaras several times in the fight: A single increase from 34 to 46:

In the iCBT it didn’t stack for me either and I tested it at low mobs without weapon. So no damage fluctuations.

It definitly stacked for me in iCBT, you can even see the count go up on the monster itself, also testing it on low level monster is not a good idea because you run the risk of having the mobs defense reach 0 whit a few ticks making it look like the debuff isn’t stacking.

I’m pretty sure deprotected zone continously decrease enemys defense…
because after few seconds my mace was hitting harder on monsters
I guess worth put 3 points in DZ, because attributer requirements (min lv3)

Also, leveling it up does increase the defense reduction. I had deprotected zone level 10, gf had level 5. Mine reduced more defense that hers(no attributes involved).

Seems like doing this was a very bad idea then:
