Virus and DK

Hi all could someone help me out in conforming my thoughts on the tooltips of Virus and Dragon Kcik.
Virus deacreses the STR,DEX,INT and mind by 15% what in turn deacreses the targets dmg but it also increases dmg taken by the target (at least thats what i see whenever i figiht and a virus is aplied 95% of the time i see bigger numbers)

This brings me to my question Dragon kick Reduces the Blunt resistence and INT of the target by 10%.
Would that mean that it also in turn increases the magic dmg taken by the target similiar as how virus works? some of the casters i have spoken to say they do see beter results regarding there dmg when they have a monk in the group others say they dont see a difrence. Did anyone test it out already and has some theories about this?

Ps:sry for the gramar and propably a lot of typos...

INT has no relationship to incoming damage. In fact, enemies have no DEF/MDEF to speak of, they all take 100% damage unless they have some form of buff specific to that enemy, much like a tank CD.

Virus does not increase the damage a boss takes. That is just confirmation bias.

Oh really how did u explain my 1800 Full Thrust against Nael and sub 1500 Full Thrust against t6 savage mid bulb?

Virus doesn't increase damage taken by the boss.

Because all damage is done through a calculation that has a range, let's say 80%-120% damage. These numbers aren't exact I assure you, but for simplicity sake, we'll use that. So 1500-1800 makes perfect sense, not because of any buffs or debuffs, but simply because that's the nature of DPS. Crits are the same way, they have a range of damage they can do.

It's around +/-5% i.e. 1425-1575
Or if 1500 was the low end 1500-1650.

So somewhere Empressia had an additional 10% damage.

Iseotle is probably correct as Disembowl would be the difference between a bulb and Nael

Disembowel (you're probably not Disemboweling a bulb, while it will be on Nael any time you're doing a Full Thrust), different buffs up, damage range being +0% to +10% from minimum damage.

Definitely disembowel.
