How does ignore target defense work

The name might be somewhat misleading, in that it actually does not mean that you will always hit the target. It means that the target's defense is set to zero, so while your odds of hitting are greatly increased, your Character Level is also factored against the target's level, and the actual to hit percentage will depend on how that formula plays out.

Ignores Target's Defense does not work in player versus player, and does not work against Act Bosses either for that matter. If a hireling is equipped with any Ignore Target's Defense item such as desert mercenary with The Reaper's Toll , it has no effect either.
