Some people rumor Pierce ignores wdef, and that's entirely possible. Its easily proven by testing at something with lots of wdef. Assuming max damage of 6451 again we see:
6451*(8.5+2.4) = 70k max damage (which you 69k fits nicely into). That was fully charged right?
Factoring rash's 235 wdef: 69035 max, which also fits, but it a tad too close for my comfort. As of now we can't confirm if Pierce takes wdef or not, a few more maxs (or mins) and it'll be fine.
If its worth brining up, what if the min of Pierce isn't the same multiplier as its max? I think we need some min and max damages (crits doesn't matter), a pretty large sample size would be nice. Any number of monsters 3+ will work great.
1 monster we have no problem on, its the multiple monsters we don't know if its a 1.18, 1.185, or 1.2 multiplier. Its definitely not 1.1
