Can I have your stuff?
Assuming Hurkan does 4000 damage because he has +300 MAB and is doing a 1k damage attack to you while you have +0 MDB:
1000*((100+300)/100) = 4000 damage
Now assuming you have 22 MDB because you're on level 99 RUN, you should take:
1000*((100+300)/(100+22)) = 3278 damage
So no, the dramatic reduction you observe is not due to MDB.
I know that a lot of people probably wouldn't be able to pull it off, but the other day I was able to beat Hurkan by myself. The only 'assistance' I had was from Ulmia, Joachim, and Cherukiki tossing the occasional buff at me, but all the damage came from me. I was DNC/RUN. Kept Barthunder and two Tellus up, and whenever he used Crashing Thunder to activate his aura, I would do Rudra's Storm -> Reverse Flourish -> Rudra's Storm (Darkness), and then used Swipe or Lunge. This would do enough earth damage to break his aura and get the !!s. Below 25% it becomes very important to break the aura as soon as it appears, as Static Prison is an at-will from that point, but without the aura the damage it does is mitigated. Took me about 90 minutes to crush that bird. Not something I'd want to repeat often, but it just goes to show that there are ways to deal with WKRs in ways that people might not have thought of or tried.
Id like to suggest and it may have been tossed out there already, but I will suggest it again then ^^...
New WKR "Style" Fights. Toss Kefka at us, or the Witches like Ultameicia, Roll over us with OZMA, hehe ... I like WKR fights and I love all the old Final Fantasies. I think it would be fun to have some more WKR fights tossed into the game. I dont think they all need to have a story behind them sometimes its fun to just gang up on an old baddie.

Fantasy: imagination, especially when extravagant and unrestrained.
I have a "solution" that could overhaul the activity present in WKR's:
Make the "aged box" of HP Bayld a far more common drop. If people going in and contributing well can get 5-15 of an item presently selling on my server for 30k/each, they'll go and focus on what they're doing. As well, the bayld market is somewhat being held up by reive botters and this would bring the bayld production back into the hands of legitimate players. Also, Ergon weapons are at about twice the cost of Mythics, so it might help lower the overall cost there, too.
For my feed back, I'd personally like to see the Delve Boss Items return and stay as drops from the WKR. I have still yet to get an actually win from Delve and I'd like some other chance to get the items I need for reforge without have to shell out hand over fist
for everything. I'd rather farm my items if at all possible.

Bring back the WKR campaign.. there's a very low supply of high purity bayld going around.
Yutunga Jungle and Yoat need WKR too =D
