Brionac - Protection

http://puu.sh/1pAxj

As far as I know, and as far as this article goes, Brionac does not cut Protection upon use.

Can anyone back up his statement?

I would test it, but considering I have no access to the game, I can't and I hope someone will for me.

I should probably provide links to the thread : http://mabinogi.nexon.net/Community/forums#%2Fshowthread.php%3F620148-G12-Final-not-restoring-Shadow-Spirit-s-exp%26p%3D5194961%23post5194961

Certain enemies like Nuadha is one....actually I think it's just him and his Daols....

Equivalent posted after his saying that it only affects Boss-labeled enemies (not CP), so that could be it.

Things that affect boss tagged enemies. Shadow spirit's defense and protection lowering, also now that i think about it, is it brionac that does that too? Or is it just shadow spirit, i think somewhere ingame it told us to use the power of brionac to weaken Nuadha's defense.

Also puppet's snare (does not work on Boss labeled enemies) I have the old....oh no longer acceptable nvm.

Probably affects only certain bosses, like how Counter cuts the Giant Golden Spiderling's or the Giant Partholon Ghost's Prot.

That's built into the monsters themselves, not the item.

Wouldn't the Brionac ignoring protection also be "built into the monsters"?

No, that's built into Brionac.

kinda. . . ?

The tag is on the mobs, just certain weapons can utilize that tag.

So is it established that Brionac lowers protection on some monsters? If so, which ones? And should this information be added to the main page?

According to Aubog, anything with /boss/ in their category. But that specifically would be hard to add into the page, since there are so many, and generalizing it will not work, since no one will know what /boss/ means.

I think the fact that it cuts protection on some monsters warrens a note on the main page. Anyone know that does the Brionac user has to be under the effect of Sock or Demi for it to lower boss' protection?

So far...Daols and Nuadha...at least from what I've done during my course of the C3 Renewal edits...

Merrow in Scathach Caverns can also have its protection lowered.
