We are not discussing raid DPS in this thread.

I saw the discussion of how strength affects a parse on a level 4 turtle. My point is it doesn’t. Drawing conclusions on the benefit of attack power when almost every hit is near maximum is a silly test. It’s like discussing the benefits of having a 4K mana SK if you never get past 75% mana while playing.

Yea it’s something to consider. But at least compare a situation that matters. My parse may not be enough to convince anyone here. It’s enough to convince me I won’t continue to spend hours for data that isn’t helping guide decisions. Whether in gear or how to select starting points.

I’m definitely backing out of this one. Page 9 to page 22 in one day? Wow.

I am not sure why people keep saying "every hit is a near maximum on the turtle". I got 11 max hits out of 496 on the turtle. Why do people keep saying the same nonsense?

I posted this in the video description for the 2h test:

Recorded highest hit with 210 STR: 250 Damage
Recorded highest hit with 231 STR: 258 Damage

Total number of 250+ Damage hits across the entire test: 11 hits
Total number of hits across the entire test: 496 hits
Percentage of hits that were max damage or above the 210 STR max damage: 2.2%

No it even reports real time dps in a heads up display that projects over p99. It both gives you a continuous readout and compiles the results by fight within the program.

From the second I take my first swing the log starts and you even watch it continuously report where you’re at as each swing/miss occurs.

I strongly encourage you to play with. It is excellent. The only area where you have to be careful is when multiple people are engaging at very different times. It will frequently spit out their dps as a function of total fight time. For example if a monk is doing 100dps but only engages for the second half of the fight - it will report they were doing 50dps. The program does have a function to look at “adjusted”
Dps and will then give you the number for just the time they were engaged.

It’s a stellar program, you just have to understand it’s one quirk in this regard.

Give it a try. It’s amazingly user friendly and it does give you that heads up display.

Please post the logs so we can confirm it is working. I am not sure why that is a problem.

That is fine, you can post them when you get home. I am not in a rush. I just want to see if there is an issue with Gameparse.

I suggest you just download it and give it a whirl. My bet is you’ll end up getting hooked. I load up gameparse and get it settled before I even finish logging in.

/log on

Filter out others misses
Filter in your misses
Filter in everyone’s hits

It gives you real time data on you, your pet, and everyone else and their pets melee. It also gives you a breakdown of defensive information and mob damage output.

The problem is I cannot see how you set up Gameparse. It could be that the program is fine, but there are issues with your settings. Or you are using a buggy version. There is no way for me to know.

I could also mess up my Gameparse somehow.

If you post the logs, we don't need to worry about that. It is the easiest solution here.

I’ll post you a log when I get home lol. Your mistrust of the program is comical. These are not complicated programs.

In the meantime - how about you put in some actual leg work and parse vs something that isn’t level 5.
