Best way to level Defense skills?

[Daldaen]

Fastest way, get an enormous train, pull to zone out. Have 60 bard sing DA song on you and have him zone out. For 12 seconds of you having DA song you will chain fire off Defense skillups. I *believe* that AGI increases rate of defense skillup?

Or do the same deal with a DA Idol. Giant train -> DA -> Tank until DA ends.

That's how I would do it for classes that I would PL from 1-65. Riposte/Avoidance discs worked well too for melee classes.
