Talk:Defense Break/@comment-5693502-20130217185831/@comment-5693502-20130217200148

Hmmm fundamentally the end result is the same... but the difference is that when a user pierces or penetrates a defence, the defence is generally broken or destroyed afterwards rendering it useless. When a user bypasses a defence, the defence remains intact afterwards as if it had never been touched. Here's an example: A man wants to get to a door but he is blocked by a very sturdy wall (the wall represents a defence). If the man decides to pierce the wall, he is going to break through it (using whatever method), destroying the wall in the process; if the man decides the bypass the wall, he is going to jump over or walk around it, leaving the wall intact afterwards. Either way the man still reaches the door.
