Hoh mobs Pdr

do all the HOH mobs have 35% PDR ?

so they reduce my damage by 35% if my ignore is 0%?

@GoXDS: some classes have monster debuff skills
penombre when used will lower mob defence by 20%

qq. thread starter uses the correct terms then gets derailed almost immediately
@daringwaffle not quite sure what you mean...but it's never additive anymore whatever you meant.

[quote=David0696]Yes, having 100% PDR means that you will ignore the damage reduction stemming from defense only. This does not account for elemental resistance, where your damage is cut in half on some bosses. [i]Physical[/i] is considered to be an element I suppose.

@UAPaladin, this is true for most skills. There are the few which are the exception such as Dual Blade's asura.

To ignore 100% defense, you need at least one source of 100% ignore defense. Sources of PDR are also not additive if they come from the same equip, such as a sword with a 30% ignore potential line and a 15% PDR nebulite.[/quote]

do you think its additive if its from your total def ignore, and a debuff? I know phantoms are getting 20% defense decrease debuff soon, im hoping its more useful than like 5% actual pdr

[quote=lKingAura]Since we are at it, does having 100% pdr means that I'll ignore the 100% of that 35% dmg reduccion? (making my dmg hit them on a 100% potential)[/quote]

Theoretically yes, but it is impossible to actually have 100% PDR due to PDR being multiplicative, though they might round it up to 100% if you're close enough

if their pdr is 35%, then yes, they reduce your damage by 35% if you have no pdr ignore
