So my friend was dealing the dmg this time, seeing how mercedes defense break is buggy and always shows 808. Insight physical resist doesnt seem to be like that.

His PDR lines as Xenon using blade dancing:

Weapon 30% potential line 5% passive
6% pirate deck
5% top
10% Hat
20%+20%/40% spikes royale

Screenshot of his stats:

Spoiler

40% one should push it to 96.2% 20%+20% should be 108%.

Im happy with the results seeing how this benefits me but I was wrong. It is a flat 40% on spikes royale.

Before spikes royale

After:

Spoiler

Im 99% sure that paladin threaten works exactly the same, glad I was wrong, less cubing for PDR Biggrin

I think it's a solid proof that it is indeed 40% not 2 separate 20% sources. Biggrin

(GOOD NEWS FOR ME!)

I dont know how it work, but it doesnt seem to work like Mercedes defense break. With defense break you will always do 808 dmg even if you dont have enough PDR to deal dmg in the first place, it needs futher testing and I dont know where to begin, seeing how its impossible to take insight off and lvling it takes too much time. Mines already capped, but dont think thats enough for testing.

Scratch that, found out why, I was having warrior character cards on.

I assume physical reduction works like the old pdr system but not entirely sure.

OT: well I can push you or say I'm going to do something bad to you. There's also more subtle ways to threaten such as have your lawyers send someone a note that you'll sue them if so and so doesn't happen (potential blackmail). Sometimes threats are perceived to be non-threats and vice-versa.

Oh wait. Whoops. xD
