Global MapleStory Tespia: Now Closed (Big Bang inside)

I editted my post right after posting it. also what you quoted hasnt changed in concept one bit. I just added a clarification of what i meant by "truly" that remains just as true as if i took it out. I honestly had not seen your post when i edited.

If powerguard actually did reduce damage by 50% it'd be the same as getting hit by a mob with 1/2 the attack. The thing is it isn't. It's a reduction of a reduction. It is only 50% of whatever wasn't reduced by everything else. so when you take 1's without powergaurd you'd probably still take 1's or at most 2's. This is yet again completely neglecting that with guardian you wont be taking damage at all 42% of the time.

Why would you use 1 to justify your statement? Half of 1 is .5.

 Spoiler

No PG.


With PG.

Defense is 1832 with Iron Body. Threatened they do about 23-65 damage.
