Blaze Wizard needs more defense

Problem: Blaze Wizard needs more defense. As a now level 200 (legit) Blaze Wizard, I am burning MP potions like crazy because of how 5th job affected Defense. I burn an average of 200-300 Power Elixers an hour, and that's kind of high for any class. I don't know how the other mages were effected after 5th job, but I know Battle Mage is safe due to their blue aura giving them a 150% defense passive. (3x Defense)

Solution: Allow INT to now affect the growth rate of Defense, but not nearly as much as how Strength effects it.

Reasoning: Mages used to gain Magic Defense from INT ap which helped them when fighting magic user mobs, such as hilla, arkarium, etc but now take quite a bit more damage with Magic Defense's removal. There was nothing to compensate for this, and now Magic Guard skills drink MP like water in a vast desert. Blaze Wizards consume 40% more MP which also effects the amount of MP used up by their magic guard skill, which replaces 85% of HP Damage with MP consumption.

TL;DR INT should at least give 1/3rd- 2/5ths as much DEF as STR would, since there was nothing to compensate the removal of Magic Defense for mages after 5th job occured.

    Blaze Wizards are designed to have high damage at bossing and mobbing, but their con is being a glass cannon. So having low defense on a blaze wizard is only natural and it's how the class got designed, without healing skills. Just once in a while 60% mp healed.

    Use the Boogie familiar or Mutant snail to recover some of your mana that you use, you hardly will use potions when they are active.
