Just wanting to let you know of a correction. 590 defense, not 690. But great info otherwise. Love the column and keep 'em coming!!

540 Defense Skill is equal to about 689 Defense Rating for a level 80 character.

I said defense rating, not defense skill. This is also part of the reason why it's being removed.

If you had bothered to follow the link to defense the author bothered to include in the same paragraph where he said 690 defense rating, this would all be clear to you. From the wiki: "Critical Hit immunity for a level 80 player against a raid boss occurs at 540 Defense and requires a defense skill of 140 (689+ def rating) from gear to achieve."
