And yes I see this as a problem. although it is working as intended. It has to do with their diminishing returns system. Once you put aura on and add that much defense you dont see hardly any gain sometimes nonefor smaller amounts of added def.
Its stupid really. If I have more def I should take less damage, simple as that. It pisses me off to no end that master defenders only upside is AI which was nerfed. Im a master defender now and I really believe that a 4444 with aura running would take exactly the same damage as I would. They need to change how our defense relates dmg or tweak or fix it.

Just to clarify here. Lets say a pickets dmg looks like this.
70-180
Min-Max
With Aura running you have675 def. The picket hits you for 72 each time.
You add 25 def from master and have 700 now. The way SOE set it up is that each succesive point provides less benefit than the point before. If you added 2 points of defense what you see is that your 676th point by itself helps you a little more than the 677th.
Now what happens is 2 things.
1. Def is so high that the picket is already hitting you basically for his bare min dmg.
2. Adding 25 points when you already have 675 provides MINIMAL gains and what you are seeing is that its not enough to even reduce the pickets dmg by 1 or 2 of his last points above min dmg.
