It is because you are fighting bloodmaw, who is like level 5.

That's what I thought at first, but here's Woody and Swarmcaller v Relik, who was a very tough fight.

You are still getting more min damage hits than bloodmaw. You can see they are one of the higher values. I don't remember what level your ranger is, but if he's like 52 you have a good level gap. Also remember that some mobs have lower/higher AC than the average. That guy may just have lower AC than your normal level 40. Relik is using an unarmored dwarf graphic, so they may have lowered his AC to reflect that.

This is from my DPS calculator. It is a 46 Warrior using a 9/24 weapon against a level 40 mob. Left number is damage value, right number is how many times that damage value was rolled.

I could keep posting distributions without spikes at the min value but I'm curious about this one from your DPS calculator. What values did you use for player skill, mob ac, agility, defensive skill? I'd like to replicate this.

Sounds like you may be changing your opinion about my calculator.

There are two ways to use my calculator. You can either use autoscaling for skills on players and defensive stats on mobs, or you can manually input everything. By default autoscaling is turned on for ease of use. Autoscaling is a bit less accurate, but not significantly so.

You can turn off player skill autoscaling by setting scaleOffensiveSkillsByPlayerLevel to false.

You can turn off Mob autoscaling by setting scaleDefensiveValuesBasedOnMobLevel to false.

Please listen to how AC works this time. Based on this comment from the EQEMU Code:

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

And the Kunark Strategy Guide, which actually posted some rough estimates of AC for the Classic/Kunark Era mobs:

https://dn790004.ca.archive.org/0/it...ial_eGuide.pdf

It seems like a level 50 Kunark mob has around 115 AC. That is the AC value I used for the level 50 FM giants, to confirm the DPS from my Monk parse matched my calculator:

https://youtu.be/Ub0bfwyKpE0?feature=shared

For all of the level 46 Warrior parses, the player had 100 STR/DEX, and no haste.

Autoscaling is also using this 115 AC value as the guide for how AC scales per level.

Please avoid using like 300 AC for a level 40 mob. I know the wiki says a lot of level 40 mobs have like 300 AC, but as far as I know those values were just scraped from out of era websites. Most if not all of the wiki AC values are probably wrong.

For Riposte/Parry/Dodge on the mob, just leave their skill at 1. From my parsing I noticed that mobs seem to do these less often, on P99 at least.

For the level 46 Warrior using the 9/24 weapon, I was just using autoscaling for both the player and the level 40 mob on the first parse I posted with the 79 min damage rolls.

For the second parse that had more min hits, which closely matched the Sept 2000 parse below, it was a manually tuned mob. It was like a level 40 Mob with 200 Defense Skill, 150 AGI, 120 AC, and 1 for Parry/Riposte/Dodge. Some mobs have higher AC than average according to the Kunark Guide. Frost Giants from Everfrost/Permafrost have like 120 AC, which is what I used as the harder mob.

For the Bloodmaw parse I just used autoscaling again for the player and mob. I set the mob to level 5.

Finally, remember that my DPS calculator is a fighting simulator. It uses RNG like the real game, so each time you use the calculator, the results will be a bit different.

Dear diary,

Today I posted on elf sim boards til the wee hours of the morning.

I am always right.

Love,
Me

They're so far off topic right now. DSM is pushing his DPS calculator in a thread about weapon hate. It's completely off topic and entirely irrelevant. Plus, it doesn't even work right.

Don't help him fix his derpiest calculator. It's not like he's going to give credit to testers and contributors.

I feel bad for Samoht. He wakes up every day just to post the same negative comments that aren't true. They won't change the post history, change reality, or discredit me. It is just pointless.

This is fighting a harder mob using my DPS calculator. Level 46 Warrior with a 9/24 weapon:

008: 118 | 009: 021 | 010: 026 | 011: 037 | 012: 042 | 013: 029 | 014: 044 | 015: 031 | 016: 044 | 017: 044 |
| 018: 042 | 019: 044 | 020: 054 | 021: 062 | 022: 035 | 023: 037 | 024: 040 | 025: 133 | 026: 026 | 027: 032 |
| 028: 016 | 029: 013 | 030: 015 | 031: 011 | 032: 014 | 033: 009 | 034: 010 | 035: 007 |

My DPS calculator can generate very similar results to a parse from Sept 2000. Remember that this parse from Sept 2000 was used in an attempt to claim my DPS calculator cannot produce results showing the DPS of other weapons around the same time as Twig.

You discredit yourself. What the post history shows is that you've managed to derail another thread with your offtopic nonsense and personal attacks. You were SO WRONG about the twig and yet you couldn't help yourself but keep posting more and more and more BULLSHIT trying to prove yourself right by inventing straw men and moving the goal posts. It's what you do in every thread.

But since you continue to insist, I need to point out that you already still call it "my DPS calculator" even though other people have had to fix major issues for you.

So thanks for proving me right.

The title of the thread I made already credits the EQEMU code I used. So this attack is simply false.

Go post in that thread. Keep your bullshit contained to one spot instead of spreading it all over.

My evidence disproves your claim. You can keep denying all you want. People can see the truth.

Your only evidence is your DPS calculator. One that time and time again has been proven to be just as wrong as you are. It is not a valid source.

It sounds like Samoht has given up on claiming my DPS calculator doesn't work. It sounds like he wants to be a part of it now and get credit. Progress!

No it can't, you're trying to artificially attack a higher AC target when that's not how the parses were done, and even while trying to attack something with higher AC you're still getting more hits for '26' and '27' than people in classic hitting lower AC targets.

P99 has never used the exact same numbers as what existed during classic, what do you not understand about that?

You were not playing back then. Stop trying to tell people who were playing back then what was happening. There's been other testimony linked as well. Low delay weapons were busted and that's why they completely changed Twig/Whip, instead of just making them not drop anymore.
