Eth rune's minus defense property

Does the Eth rune's -25% target defense work on all monsters, including bosses and champions? Or does it suffer the same limitation as Ignore Target's Defense?

I believe it works at half-effectiveness (-12.5%) against act bosses. And maybe/probably other super-uniques/bosses/champs too.

I've just tested this and -% Target Defence is applied at 100% effectiveness against not just normal but random Champion and Unique monsters and their minions i.e. -100% TD would result in 0 total defence (after +% Enhanced Defence). :thumbup:

-% TD works at 50% effectiveness against Super Unique monsters and bosses (all of which are Super Unique with the odd exception of Putrid Defilers) i.e. -100% TD would be applied as -50% TD and just halve total defence.

As expected, Ignores Target Defence doesn't apply to Champion, Unique, Super Unique or boss monsters.
