Excellent work ice.

This conclusively proves that damage reduction has an effect on damage received. It is also consistent with prior tests which estimated that damage reduction worked and was equivalent to roughly 1/3 of defense and resistance.

As it stands nin/tai pen DOES NOT WORK IN OUT VERSION , so damage reduction won’t be affected by it (the deviousness thread demonstrates this so it’s now factual).

Maybe in 5.0 nin/tai pen will be corrected but as of now those stats can be forgotten.
