The parses showed precisely what I wanted it to, but to a far greater degree than should be mathematically expected. It is therefore a "not good" parse to use as proof of anything. I will repeat it at some point.
I consider that session to be somewhere between "marginally useful" and "completely borked due to limitations aforementioned".
Unlike you, I don't stand on my own relative "Mr Turtle" and proclaim victory. I acknowledge my findings, despite being what i wanted them to show ... were anecdotal at best.

I am not standing on anything. I am simply pointing out that your data
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=168 happened to fit nicely with my data
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=105 . I got a difference of 3 DPS, and you got a difference of 4 DPS. Since you didn't exclude ripostes, I imagine your number is a bit inflated. This means I am currently winning the debate. You have also shown that you may be incorrect about the turtle with regards to it's validity as a DPS testing mob.
If you think your data is insufficient, I will be happy to review the new data when you try again.

20 str should never ... EVER ... result in a 16% difference in dps. My parse was flawed despite it showing what I wanted it to.

You are simply putting too much emphasis on percentages as evidence. My DPS numbers were 67 vs. 70. The percentage difference there is ~5%, even though the raw number is close to yours. Percentages get bigger when both numbers are smaller. The important part is the raw DPS number. 3-4 DPS via 20 STR isn't a large performance increase at level 60. This number will go down further when you take into account lower player level, lower player skills, a lower ratio weapon, a lower percentage haste item, etc. This is because we are talking about a player who is leveling in EC gear, not a player already at level 60.
