Swarmcaller v Froglok Forager should be about 57 DPS but the calculator shows 17 DPS. Changes made:

The other problem with this parse is that misses were turned off:

Thanks bcbrown!

Honestly the 100% hit factor could have been my missed turned off. I figured that would only affect what is displayed in-game. Sorry if that threw a curveball.

So most likely the DPS value is wrong to begin with.

Woody vs Bloodmaw should be 39.5 DPS at 138 str and 43 DPS at 175 str, but shows 29 and 30.
Changes made: Level 52, strength 138 or 175, mainhand 31/35, offhand 0 damage, haste 22%. Mob AC of 94, defense of 50.

I get around 43 DPS with Woody on Bloodmaw at level 52, 175 STR, 210 offense, 210 weapon skill, 210 double attack, 22% Haste, 16 Damage Bonus when you apply Bloodmaw's stats more accurately. Bloodmaw is level 1-8, so he's going to be similar to corudoth. Probably 25 Defense 25 AC, something around there. He also won't be parrying or riposting, so you'd set those two skills to 0.

So in that vein what is the source of AC data for mobs if wiki can't be relied on and how do you know that your AC values are correct and not just a reverse engineering to align to parse results and potentially mask inaccuracies in the calculator.

I assume NPC AC works differently from PC AC as the values stated seem wildly low compared to what I would expect if you were using the calculator to parse a player duel or pvp for example.

There is a comment in the EQEMU code that says:

According to the guild hall Combat Dummies, a level 50 classic EQ mob it should be ~115

When I did a parse on a level 50 mob with my level 52 Monk, my DPS calculator got the same value as the actual parse when using 115 AC and 200 Defense. Those are the default values in the calculator right now.

When I reduce the mob to a level 5 mob with 25 AC and 25 Defense (corudoth, a level 5 mob), I also get basically the same DPS values as what I parsed in the linked post.

I also have other parses that match the DPS calculator that I haven't uploaded yet.
