Defense Cap Per Level

For the cloth casters, it appeared for their Defense skill up to level 10:

Defense(max) = ((level x 4) + 5)

since my three casters had Defense = 45 at level 10. But from what I have gathered since a few have experienced into higher levels, the Defense skill drops to three points per level gain. That is, level 11 = 48, level 12 = 51, level 13 = 54, level 14 = 57. But since the maximum of all maximum is 145, three per level does not evenly divide into (145 - 45) = 100.

Anybody have any insight, especially at higher levels? Does it reach a point to dropping to two points per level, down to one?

So far, this is consistent with my experience as a cloth caster:

Level	Defense Cap
10	45
15	60
20	75
25	90
30	105
35	120
40	135
41	138
