Currently on this trial for enhanced astral flow.
Does this only enhance the time period when astral flow is on, or will it also increase the period of time that perfect defence is active by 30 seconds too?

Thank you

I don't know for certain, but I would imagine it's specifically for the duration of Astral Flow, and thus would have no effect on Perfect Defense.

*Technically* Perfect Defense is a Blood Pact: Rage, so for that reason it should be treated differently.

*Technically* Perfect Defense isn't a Blood Pact since it uses neither timer, instead it's cast by Alexander upon summoning.

Perfect Defense's duration is based solely on how much MP you have when you summon Alexander, which the ratio of MP to duration increasing once you hit lv. 90.

If Perfect Defense were to be considered a Blood Pact for any Blood Pact specific effects, it'd likely be considered a Blood Pact: Ward given that it's a buff effect and it doesn't require a mob being targeted. However, given its unique nature, other than the Summoner's MP when Alexander is summoned, there's nothing that can affect it currently.
