30% (Leafre Set) + 20% (Light Wash 3) + 30% (Aria Armor/Battle Rage/what have you) + 10% (Max Ambition)
Even if you have only Light Wash 2 (which is reasonable to get, unlike 3) and level 0 Ambition, that's still a respectable 75%. And there are a lot of skills that have defense ignore tacked on to them as well, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that a level 170 Marksman ignores 100% of the defense of a boss.
Then, there is the problem of scale on which this occurs as well. An unfunded player losing 30% of his damage is a going to be hit a lot softer than a funded player losing the same. 70% of pomegranatety damage is still pomegranatety damage, and won't make or break your bossing (assuming you'll be bossing at all in the first place). For other intents and purposes, where PDR does start mattering, it would be the middle-class at bosses. That's where the majority of the complaints are coming from.
That's cool. But saying that the unfunded are getting hit hard? That's hardly going to earn you any sympathy points.
