PDR does not work.
Ignore PDR has not been working since Chaos. During a test PB run with my friend, I noticed my damage on Final Cut, which would normally range from 300k-500k on the last six hits, only ranged from around 100k-150k. I had a total ignore PDRate of 60% (15% from dagger, 15% from katara, 30% from Leafre Set Bonus), and it seems that 0% of the PDRate was ignored. Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
There have been threads regarding this in SW and SP too. So now choose your monster book set bonuses wisely
Bottom line: PDR is glitched.

Hi Eric!
Idk about weapon and skill PDR ignore, but I do know that my %ignore PDR on cordex is not working. And I've tested it on zak, HT and PB, my damage did not change with/without the cordex %ignore def sets. Many other people have reported the same problem as well.
I think PB has a different formula to reduce damage. I don't think it's defense, just damage reduction.
@bluemagicxx: Ok yeah just wanted to make sure. Hmm. I've been inactive lately due to classes starting back up but I don't remember a noticable difference. There very well may be one though. I suggest sending a ticket to Nexon to give them a heads up.
@hallrock Yeah I know how PDR works. With my current ignore PDR of 60%, PB would have reduced my damage by 28%. From my calculations, PB still reduced my damage by 70%.
Edit: I also tried on HT (40% PDR). My max damage in HT was 530k, while in PB, my max observed damaged seemed to be 180k (going by memory).
@bluemagicxx: No I haven't tried anything as high as pb or empress. Tried HT (50% pdr?) and it seems to help. I assume you do know though that it's 60% of the 70%, not 70%-60%=10%. Not trying to sound patronizing, just a lot of people don't seem to know that and it would explain why you think your damage is too low.

Have you tried on a boss with a noticeable PDR, like PB (70% PDR)? I'm just curious because it seems so ludicrous that my 60% PDR didn't work on it.
Well I dont KNOW SIR I am there for VERY SORRY. WE will be looking to fix this problem VERY SOON.
