How does this work exactly?
I have an ETH in my Stormeye for my "Holy Shocker", and I was curious about the -25% defense. I had always assumed that every hit with this scepter would reduce the target's defense by 25%, each and every hit, until eventually the amount of defense being reduced is negligable, i.e. around 0. Basically, the effect is static field in a scepter (when it hits) for one monster.
A friend asked me about it, and it brought to light that my assumption may have been false. I cannot answer fully what it does because I can't really be sure.
Does the -25% affect the monster only once? Does it keep reducing defense over and over? Does it wear off (a la PMH)? If it only affects the monster once, then that would explain everyone's fascination with 4 ETH weapons (-100% in 1 shot)...

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
