I agree that 180% is excessively high and needs to be toned down to something more reasonable like 100-125%, but at least a recent patch took down the PDRs of strongbosses down by 25%. It doesn't help that Chaos PB has physical resist on top of that PDR.
Then again, %ignore is one of the "bigger" lines you can get on weapon potentials alongside %boss. The Nebulite system makes it pretty easy to achieve high amounts of ignore, for GMS anyway. Most classes these days have a decent amount of built-in ignore%, which helps.
even then, this system is retarded, with the current system, 80% ignore would mean dealing 64% damage on PB. while afterwards, me on my DrK (20% impale, 30% potential, 30% set) would be 47% dmg
that's pretty massive, and also inuintuitive, considering that reductions and increases have always been additive, see for example, boss damage wasn't made multiplicative.
