Man we are saying the same thing and I absolutely know what I mean.
1.08 Stormshield was on Aegis.
1.09 Stormshield was on Monarch and maximum defense on plain Monarch was 161, so the Stormshield (if perf) had 164 Def at lvl 1, 532 at lvl 99.
1.10+ Stormshield is on Monarch but the maximum defense on a Plain monarch is now 148 therefore a perfect stormshield has now 151 Def at lvl 1, 519 at lvl 99.
In other words during 1.09 the Monarch had 161 max def (or the same defense of an Aegis, if you prefer) and the proof is that there are still some JMOD with 161 defense around.
I just wanted to point out that if you are considering Europe there are 3 Perfect ones around and not 2, as you said. That's all.
