Damage Multiplier after boss defence = {100 - [(1 - DEF ignore%) * boss defense]} Correct?

I imagine it works the same as for any other class.
If a boss has 50% def and you have 15% ignore, the boss ends up having an effective 50%*(100%-15%) = 42.5% def
So you'd be doing 57.5% of your "normal" damage.

eyup, though I'm sure you could have found the answer by using the search function. This has been asked several times already.

wasn't sure whether they were additive or multiplicative ):

Demon Impact is +30% boss damage and 50%DEFignore, so with Binding Darkness and Demon Impact alone that's 80%DEF ignored already.

Force Cost: 30, Damage: 240%, Number of Hits: 5, Max Enemies Hit: 3, Critical Hit Rate: +100%, Defense Ignored: 30%, Damage vs Boss Monsters: +30%
After Justice Patch ;p
Btw, can DEF ignore go above 100% ?

no, you can't reduce defense under zero.

So the highest you can go against a 75% def boss is 100% of your damage ):

of course, unless you mix boss damage there. once a boss defense hits zero, it can't go lower. so you'll be hitting your full damage then.

How exactly do you read that table?
So it seems like a mix of boss damage + def red is the best potential on pots?

So, in most cases PDR is better then Boss Damage? :O

backwards, in fact, if you have the leafre set active, there isn't a single instance in which %ignore is better than %boss. (when fighting a boss, obviously)only place would be the empress knights, since they seem to have lost their boss tags.
