Arans High Defense isn't working, decreased damage received is visual only

[4thJobHokage]

In-game Name: 4thJobSeries
Class: Aran
Level: 172
Game Resolution (800, 1200, 1600, 1900): Not sure, 1600? Whatever the default is.

Description of Bug: The amount of damage that i lose when I touch a monster is greater than the number shown. The number shown is how much damage I should be losing with High Defense, but the amount of HP I lose is the amount of HP I would lose if I did not have High defense.
How to Replicate Bug: Have any(?) level of High Defense & compare damage taken to damage shown on screen.
Additional Notes (optional): My High Defense is only level 3, so it's not a big difference yet, but it will be in the future. For example, I have 21170HP & I bumped into a Mutant Orange Mushroom, it showed I took 5209 damage, yet I had 15882 HP left after getting hit meaning that I actually received 5288 damage (5288 divided by 5209 is 1.015 or 1.5%, which is what level 3 High Defense is, so it's exactly showing my damage as if I'm blocking 1.5% damage, but I'm actually blocking 0 damage).

Had my first interaction (I think) where it really mattered. At High Defense 22 now, so it should be reducing damage taken by 11%. Had 9K HP & knew the Twilight Perion Dark Stone Golems only hit me for 8.6K so no need to use a potion, pet will use one after I bump into another monster, WHACK, dead... Then I remembered even though it says 8.6K, I'm actually taking more damage than that as the 8.6K shows if High Defense was working how much damage I would be taking. I probably got hit for around 9.5K damage, hence why I died.

Good eye on this, here's what I found:

My character has 30,000 HP. I took a hit from a Skelegon with max High Defense (HD). The hit visually displayed 1941. Meaning, I should have 30000-1941 = 28059 HP left. However, I had 27717 instead. Meaning, instead of 1941 damage, I actually took 2283 damage. So the bug is confirmed.


After applying my fix and healing back to 30000, I took 1924 damage, which should put my HP to 30000-1924 which is 28076 (off by 1 HP due to rounding), and it appears to be working now:


Should be fixed for next patch, thanks for your patience
