How is total Pdr calculated?

Okay so one day my ignore defense stat just went down by a lot. One day I have over 100% and now I have 73% (I think it was after a recent patch). I tried calculating where all of it comes from and I found 6 sources of PDR for my character.

polearm = 30%potential + 15%nebulite
Cleaving Blows(skill) = 40%
ambition (trait) = 2%
Lumi Link Skill = 10%
BeastTamer Character Card = 6%
Pirate's Way (3 S rank pirate cards) = 6%
[b]Predicted Total= 109%
Actual Total= 73%[/b]

I ran some small tests to see what wasn't calculating correctly and got these numbers...
CB+ambition+link= 48%
polearm+CB+ambition+link= 69%
BT+CB+ambition+link= 51%
polearm+BT+CB+ambition+link= 71%
pirate+BT+CB+ambition+link=54%
polearm+pirate+BT+CB+ambition+link=73%

(CB=cleaving blows, BT= beasttamer card, link=lumi link skill)
I have NO IDEA what's going on, does anybody else? How is PDR being calculated now?

Here's the calculation
polearm = 30%potential + 15%nebulite
Cleaving Blows(skill) = 40%
ambition (trait) = 2%
Lumi Link Skill = 10%
BeastTamer Character Card = 6%
Pirate's Way (3 S rank pirate cards) = 6%

1 - [(.7)(.85)(.6)(.98)(.9)(.94)(.94)]
1 - .27 = 73%

Your pdr has not changed. On the 26th they just finally updated the stats window to show the correct PDR after a really long time. 73% is your correct amount.

It's multiplicative. 73% is correct
