Scaling of Pardoners "increase Magic Defense"

Hello id like to know if the magic defense increase from pardoners increase magic defense I heard it was 0.3 instead of a 1.1 ratio of pririt=magic defense.
Also wondering if This skill at lvl 5 actually does anything in higher level maps, as i’ve heard things on both sides, one side says everyone will have lion head so it wont matter and the other side says otherwise.

Can anyone clarify? Thank you for your time.

If not mistaken should me 1 spr 1 def. but theres nothing better to take as a pardoner anyway. Its between simony, magic def and discerning. Or a shop if ur opening one

It’s 1 SPR = 1 MDEF, if you invest a lot of points in SPR it’s a great skill even at level 1.

well, as long as you’re a SPR Priest, it’s quite ok, but I’ll skip that skill [Increase Magic Defence] on my C2>Kr3>Pard2>Taoist,
because I want to reach Pardoner 3 and max Indulgentia and Decatose + Oblation aside from Simony if it’s possible to reach max Rank of 12 xD

Increase Mdef has only an uptime of roughly 50%(uptime 50 seconds vs 92 seconds CD time with attribute) unless you’re a Diev C1+(uptime 50 seconds vs 73,6 secs CD time with attribute), so it’s not really worth putting any points into it unless you want to save some blue gems in the shoes e.g./switch them for green gems (dodge rate) or red gems (HP recovery for Animus e.g.).

With the introduction of Hunting grounds and 4 slotted lvl 170 shoes though [coming to ITOS soon], the need for the skill is becoming redundant imo.

my party have chaplain lv240 with 350spr

so if it’s pardoner1 magic def from skill = 460

it’s 4.5 x more than blue gem lv5 x2 in boots
