I guess this should explain why it shows I have so much. It seems I'll have to get more % Ignore Defense.

the window shows your % ignore doubled except the % you get from ambition

The window that shows your % Ignore is bugged at the moment. I only have 97% but it shows 183%.

@scrumble: I feel the same way! I only get 25% from links/potential, yet I have 92% defense ignore.

[quote=wizardq]Where exactly does it come from? Because the only thing I can think of is AA and that's only 20%.[/quote]

I have no idea. Me and a friend noticed we had the same % ignore defense and we both have no nebulites or potential that gives us that amount. So it must've been from either character cards, link skills or skills. Considering the fact that I have no character cards or link skills which give me more % ignore defense, it must be from skills. though I have absolutely no idea which skills give it, aside from Arcane Aim. I'd love to look into this later. ^^

1 - (1 - Source1) * (1 - Source2) * (1 - Source3) * (1 - SourceEtc) = Ignore DEF Total

^that is the new formula for Ignore DEF

Ignore DEF is not to be confused with PDR and MDR, but you could make the case that Mages have these.

I could say that Mages have 85% PDR and MDR because of Magic Guard, because it ignores 85% of damage. Well, really it redirects it to MP, but still

@Green4EVER: kk.

Unfortunately, the formula for Ignore DEF changed with the Unleashed patch. Don't listen to how much your stat window tells you that you have. Ignore DEF ignores PDR and MDR, physical damage reduction and magical damage reduction, respectively. PDR and MDR can be found on monsters in the form of percents. Chaos Zakum, for example, has 50% PDR and MDR (iirc) which means your damage against Chaos Zakum will be halved. Ignore DEF is a percent that ignores a percent, and with the new way that Ignore DEF works, you'll never be able to ignore 100% def because Ignore DEF is now multiplicative instead of additive. I'm on my phone right now but when I get back I can give some more specifics

Nope.

@green4EVER should know!

[quote=scrumble]Thing is, FP's have a base PDR of about 71%. Which means this wouldnt make that much of a difference when killing normal monsters. :o
But you do have a point.[/quote]

[quote=lovesupport]PDR helps too in terms of having low ranges to hit 500k. Lumi's skill link helps a lot.[/quote]

[quote=scrumble]Friend of mine has about 73k range and somewhere near the 450 Magic Attack and I thought it was 3k INT. With Arcane Aim, he does 500k's (in critical hits only).
Not sure how others deal more than 500k with less range though...[/quote]

[quote=Icycles]I have ~64k range and I still haven't seen a 500k paralyze outside of my Infinity [/quote]

Same here. Exact same range and on normal monsters ill see 450k at most, and only on crits. I think an accurate range would be around 75k to hit it consistently.

The important question is how much funding you would need.

60-70k range is enough, judging by my friend's range

Hitting around 500k per line buffed would take about a 60k range. Won't be consistent because of Arcane Aim and other factors, but you'll see it fairly often.
