And since Nexon always does their math right, and always names things right, that couldn't possibly happen

I can easily imagine them using a formula such as
my_def_ignore = sum of all ignore_def fields on gear and skills
damage_lost = monster_PDrate * (1 - my_def_ignore)
damage_done = damage_dealt * (1 - damage_lost)
In which case if my_def_ignore is larger than 1 (100%), the damage actually done to the monster will be higher than your original damage output. They need to put in extra code to limit my_def_ignore to 1, and being Nexon...
I've no proof, one way or the other. But it's worth testing before dismissing.
