		Burn doesn't remove bonus DEF, its that simple.
Tested using BK Passive and Astral Belt for +16 DEF, the DEF modifier remained the same.
Might be worth checking Hellflame Uorate as well.

		The character you were testing this on didn't happen to have Salamander's Skin, did they?

		Nope, a lot of my characters don't lose their bonus defense when burned, even if the burn is a high level.

		Could you go into more detail about how you're testing this?

		I think I've figured out what it is actually, you can shred some instances of bonus DEF (Such as class-innates and items) but the ones that won't be shred are buffs, including:
Galren, Astral Belt, Sanguine Crest, Castling, Ice Point Guard. Etc.

In these screenshots one of my characters has 20 modded DEF + An additional 11 modded DEF from his Sanguine Crest, as he is a vampire.
A majority of his DEF is status modifiers, Astral Belt (10) and Galren (4), sometimes Well Fed as well if I were to eat Fugu (2)
While his DEF from his class stats, only adds up to about 3, which is from Hexer.

		This should be corrected.
