Boss Damage and PDR stacks?

I've heard that PDR 15% and PDR 30% stacks, but does boss damage stack? (I don't think it does, but I just wanna make sure)
Also, does PDR help mages or only boss damage? (or both)
Do PDR and boss damage both affect bosses or is PDR for monsters only?
Thanks.

BTW, PDR stat does state Magic Attack and there is MDR, its just that its practically the same as PDR. Also, prioritywise, if you want a good all around weapon Total Damage % and PDR would be your best routes THEN followed by Boss Damage. Unless you want a more boss leaning weapon. Of course getting all three is the perfect three lines.

I already know I'm not going to get it anytime soon; and even if I do, like you said, it's extremely rare...

[quote=Asiaox123]PDR affects bosses and regular monsters (obviously more effective at high-PDR bosses). PDR helps mages' damage and their boss damage.
Boss damage currently does not stack.
In KMS, after Chaos, people noticed how their boss damage stacks, leading to insane DB boss solos because of their two weapons (Dagger+Katara) both able to stack loads of boss damage. However, KMS' boss damage has stacked since they have had Big Bang...yet we haven't. So it's uncertain if we'll get stacking boss damage post-Chaos.[/quote]

IMO, kataras should NOT be able to get PDR, but that's Nexon for ya. What didn't make sense to me was that PDR works with mages because it's called [b]Physical[/b][b]D[/b]amage [b]R[/b]eduction , and mages don't use physical attacks. Thanks for clarifying that!

[quote=bluebomber24]PDR doesn't stack with PDR. Tested myself, as a matter of fact if you have two PDRs, whichever is the lowest is the one that will be active only. Boss Damage does not stack with Boss Damage.

PDR obviously stacks with Boss Damage.[/quote]

That's so lame that the lowest one is the active one...so if you get 20% boss and 30% boss, then the 20% boss is the active one as well? And so the best thing would be to get 30% boss and 30% PDR, right?
