If I deciphered that correctly maybe I can help you with an example :O
Example of a 40% PDR mob.
If you already have 20% PDR & 30% boss damage. Let's say you want to know if a 30% ignore or 30% boss is better:
if you go with 30% ignore... you'll have 50% ignore and 30% boss.
That let's you ignore 50% of their 40% PDR.. which brings them down to 20% PDR... meaning you do 80% damage on them.
You then apply 30% boss damage to deal 80%*1.3= 104% damage.
If you go with 30% boss you'll end up at 20% PDR and 60% boss.
You'll ignore 20% of their 40% PDR (20%*40%=8%) ... meaning they'll drop down to 32%.... and that you'll only deal 68%
But then you apply 60% boss damage so... 68%*1.6=108.8% damage
So 30% boss is marginally better in that specific situation.
