Hero: ignore 40% of target defense
Dark Knight: sacrifice ignore target defence (the description said W.DEF, need someone to confirm if it also apply on PDrate)
Paladin: 20% chance of ignoring target defense (if take threaten into account, it is an additional 30% defense ignore, this skill is godly now :p)
Mages: not sure, any skill that ignore MDrate? (Is the MDrate of all boss lower than PDrate?)
BM/MM: 20% chance of ignoring target defense
NL: ignore 15% of target defense
Shadower: seems no defense ignoring skill...
bucc: demolition ignore target defense (not sure if it is like the sacrifice? and is it spammable?)
corsair: seems no defense ignoring skill...
Personally I think drks may be the DPM king of PB bossing (70% PDrate) if sacrifice actually ignore PDrate?
Also I am curious about how the % ignore target defense works,
for example, if a mob's PDrate is 10
1. If a hero attack it, the mob's PDrate is reduced by 40 (become zero) or by 4(40% of 10)?
2. If a paladin or BM/MM attack it, the PDrate is still 10, but there is a 20% chance that PDrate will become zero?
No, this P/MDrate "defense" isn't what you think. It's a set property of a boss that permanently decreases one's damage by a fixed %. This isn't weapon/magic defense as used in the defense formula in Threaten and other offensive skills. Even if skills reduce PB or any boss's physical defense to 0, you'll only see roughly a 5-10k increase in damage per hit (depending on the class's offensive skill multiplier and when mob w. def is taken into account).
Don't be confused...there's P/MD, and there's P/MDrate.
