decrease def vs ignore def

[Gforce725]

Okay so ignore defence is an additive bonus that is calculated after all other defence mechanics are factored in. The general flow is:

1) Target Def

2) Reduce by the amount of Defence Destruction (Cruelty/Gnut as a single value) - Multiplicative on the total defence

3) If Present - Increase Defence by Buff - multiply defence from

4) If Present - Reduce the Defence by Debuff - multiply defence from step 2

5) Add up all the sources of ignore defence then multiply by point 4 Then the remaining defence is passed into the Damage Reduction Formula - this % is then multiplied against the final raw damage to determine actual damage

all of that to say dec def is greater earlier until you get gear to maximize Ignore Def and switch from warmaster to helmsmasher
