I apologize if I sound mean. That isn't my intent, I simply have to defend myself from trolls. There are multiple people trolling and attacking this thread, so it can sometimes be difficult to determine if you are being sincere or not. Posters like Troxx are certainly not being sincere.
You are putting words in my mouth. I am not telling you to stop participating.
I have not set any traps for anybody. You have simply admitted that you do not have a factual basis upon which to base your current claims. I appreciate that you are willing to admit that. You are doing what most people in this thread cannot, which is awesome!
If you want to bring meaningful discussion to a factual conversation, you need to provide evidence. That is all I am asking. You are confusing people by trying to say "20 STR is going to give you a noticeable boost to DPS". You do not know this by your own admission, and therefore you should not say it in a manner that sounds like it is a fact.
You can say it is your guess and opinion that the DPS boost from 20 STR would be significant. That way people know you are not making a statement of fact. There is nothing wrong with that. Then people can look at the evidence I have provided, and the opinions you have provided, and make a decision. Or even better, you provide evidence proving your claim, so we can all benefit from the knowledge. You need to understand that I would love to be proven wrong. If we can get concrete evidence one way or the other, it will help everybody.
They are already posted!

Links to the logs are in the descriptions of the youtube videos I have provided. The post above links to another earlier post I made which explained the DPS videos. That is where the video are linked.

Nobody is trolling, it's more exasperation; having a discussion with you is completely pointless because you do not listen to reason, even in response to several very knowledgeable and articulate people spelling it out for you. That's not to say just because more people believe something it's right, but in this case there are factual logical answers that have been presented that you simply refuse or are incapable of engaging with. You've done for this thread what petroleum companies have done for the consensus on climate change-- distorted the signal to noise ratio in favor of far more poorly supported and discredited hypotheses.
You demand evidence, then reject it for asinine reasons; you present "math" or "facts" and then use them for deeply flawed conclusions, and when those flaws are pointed out to you, you don't engage with the logic, you simply ask for "evidence". It's entirely circular. On a very fundamental level, you clearly have a pathological relationship with systemic thinking. Your inability to actually absorb anything anyone is telling you and argue soundly from premises to conclusions should preclude you from giving people advice. Luckily, by now you have no credibility among anyone here. Unfortunately, any newcomer who finds this thread may perceive the illusion of a lack of consensus with regard to starting stats because of 45 pages of truly braindead attempts at reasoning on behalf of INT.
