[[Knight&#039;s Minne]], [[Geo-Barrier]], [[Gallant&#039;s Roll]], and [[Defender]].<br /> ** A simple, general rule of thumb could be seen as if it is a different status icon, it probably stacks. Otherwise they take up the same slot.<br /> ** All tiered versions overwrite each other. i.e. pro II overwrites pro I.<br /> ** When receiving the Defense boost status effect, the higher tier will always apply itself to over write the previous lower one. [[Cocoon]] cannot stack with [[Harden Shell]].<br /> ** When on Beastmaster main, many of the buffs from the pets will not stack with the similar Job Abilities. There are a couple exceptions, but none for Defense Boost.<br /> * [[Shield Barrier]], [[PLD]] level 70 job trait, enhances the protect spells cast by the [[PLD]] by adding the [[Defense]] of the [[Shield]] equipped to the base of the [[:Category:Protect Spell]]. This works under [[Majesty]].<br /> ** This allows [[PLD]] to be able to cast a higher +Def Pro V than [[WHM]] at high enough levels with a sufficient [[Shield]].<br /> ** [[Cipher: Valaineral]] is so far the only trust to obtain this trait.<br /> * [[Automaton]]s had their [[Armor Plate]] changed from +DEF% to -DT% in Dec 2011 update.<br /> ** The Trust [[Cipher: Mnejing]] still receives increased defense (+10%) and increased enmity (+10%) when partied with [[Cipher: Nashmeira]] (not compatible with Nashmeira II).<br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/18132-December-14-2011-(JST)-Version-Update December 14 2011 Update]<br /> ==Related==<br /> * [[Attack Down]]<br /> * [[Defense Down]]<br /> * [[Phalanx (Status)]]<br /> * [[Damage Taken]]<br /> * [[pDIF]]<br /> * [[Defense]]</div>
