Did one more parse on a different mob. This is using a 52 Monk, testing an XP mob on the 6th floor of Tower of Frozen Shadow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1aJNKsxa8A

2h Parse IFS:

19209 Damage over 530 seconds = 36.2 DPS

207 punches / 304 crushes = 68% chance to dual wield.

1h parse Epic Fist + SoS:

17706 damage over 529 seconds = 33.4 DPS

301 crush swings / 689 punch swings = 43.6% chance to dual wield

The slight increase of the DPS gap is due to the variability in levels of the mobs being parsed. They can range from 37-42, and I was killing them.

When looking at this data paired with:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=402

It is pretty clear that the data is not random at this point. Four different mobs all showing the same thing:

The 1h Epic Fist + SoS Damage and the 2h IFS Damage with fistweaving are close together DPS-wise at level 52, with IFS slightly in the lead. 1h Epic Fist + SoS does more damage than IFS without fistweaving.

This means Troxx's idea that Corudoth is an invalid parse target is wrong. The chances of all of these mobs somehow sharing some special setup that makes them all "trivial" compared to my Monk is unlikely. This is especially unlikely considering I was parsing against level 50 Giants I couldn't even kill solo in the linked post above. Those certainly shouldn't be "trivial".

I don't believe Troxx's idea of "trivial" mobs parsing a certain way makes sense, at least for XP mobs a level 52 Monk would be encountering. If all mobs below level 52 are "trivial", then the results would be consistent across all XP mobs anyway, which supports my position. We don't even know how this "trivial" formula from Troxx works.
