After 540 def skill becomes neglible from diminishing returns. Reaching 540 def skill is to become uncrittable after that the avoidance you would gain from the stat would be smaller than getting an actual piece of gear with avoidance.
Most people once the reach the 540 start stacking stam and avoidance in that order. The more health you have, the more surviablity you have, and while doing this the avoidance usually comes with the gear.
Wrong. Defense is the best all-round avoidance stat even after 540. It provides about the same amount of raw avoidance as dodge rating, but has several extra benefits over dodge: It spreads your avoidance stats, reducing the diminishing returns, it gives better types of avoidance (parry which gives a bit of threat, and miss which works when stunned etc.), and it gives a bit of block chance on the side - which is not subject to diminishing returns.
So there is no particular reason to stop picking up defense after 540 - it's just that you will generally want to focus more on effective health at that point.
