Guys...PDR is Percent Defense Reduction, which is a POTENTIAL LINE. [b]BOSSES/MONSTERS' DEF =/= PDR.[/b]
Just thought I'd point that out.
Yeah I've been looking up this and it seems it is for example: 15% Ignore on Zakum (40% PDR) 40*0.15 = 6%. Then Zakum will have a 34% PDR.

It is true.
[quote=Uhdryanchan]Ignore x% of the monster's defence?
like if a monster gots 60% defence and you got 15% PDR, its like 15% of the 60% is reduced, so you ignore 9% of that monsters defence. I think.[/quote]
If a monster has 60% pdr and if you have 15%, you know it's 60%-15%=45%?
@SilverStrato: I don't know every boss's PDR, that was just an example. And they can stack, but it will not go past 0% giving you a damage increase. But if you have potential that gives +% on when attacking bosses (which can be combined with ignore PDR), that gives you a damage boost.
Let's say you have 15% PDR on a weapon. Zakum has 40 PDR. 15% of 40 is 6. You deal 6% more damage on Zakum.
That's all there is to it.
[quote=Mastachicken]PDR is indeed Physical Damage Reduction. Some skills or potentials ignore this on bosses or mobs. Example: A boss has 40% PDR. Your weapon has ignore 30% PDR
When attacking that boss, its PDR drops to 10%. Meaning you only lose 10% damage when attacking that boss.[/quote]
Oh I get it.
Are Ignore defense potentials stackable? Like getting twice 30%'s or 30%+20%? Also how do you know boss's PDR%?
Also if a monster/boss has 0% PDR and I got like 20% Ignore Defense, does it mean I gain 20% damage? (cuz monster would be at -20%)
Hm, let me muster up somethings from the back of my mind...
1. There are 2 types of PDR that are possible to obtain on a potential line, 15%&30%
2. They mistyped this, it actually ignores the monsters DEF, not ATK by 15% or 30% depending on which you have.
3. I am not sure if there is a formula for it, but I am pretty sure if you google'd it, you would probably find something similar.
Just wait for more replies, this is all I have for now.
