Marksmanship % PDR question

The 3rd job skill marksmanship says "When attacking, ignores 25% of monster's Weapon Defense"
Does the 25% add to and show up in your character stats PDR window, or is it hidden and only implicit when you are attacking?

@gamerboi15: pdr is multiplicative, not additive. Check the link that person sent to actually calculate it.

@skythedestroyer: Oh god...you didn't have to do that for me...

That's strange, b/c I checked all my equips that adds % PDR, and it all sums up correctly to the % PDR I see in my character window: 70%. If marksmanship's 25% PDR rate adds passively to my character stats then I should have 95% PDR, but I don't.

I'm not sure why this is. Maybe a glitch, and I should just buy a SP reset scroll to reset my stats...?

But if I am right and it only activates when you are attacking as it says in the skill description, I would hope it adds cumulatively to the PDR I have now and not separately.

@gamerboi15: Just tested with a SP Reset Scroll. It adds to your character stats window.

@elufu: Interesting link, but I wasn't asking about damage formulas. I wanted to know whether or not the % PDR as shown in the skill marksmanship actually adds to your current % PDR in your character stat window so that you can see it.
