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

I played from 1999-2005. It is weird you just asserted this randomly without knowing.

It only makes sense because you have no idea what's going on.

Remind me what this has to do with threat of twig? You're just spamming offtopic nonsense. Why are you still posting here?

You can stop posting off-topic nonsense about me and my calculator at any time. There is no reason for you to do it. For threat on twig, I made a post on page 1:

Your first post in this thread had nothing to do with Twig:

Okay, but you're still spamming the thread with nonsense, why? You're not proving anything that wasn't already proven 25 years ago. Your DPS calculator is the only thing worse than your contribution to this thread. They nerfed twig because it didn't work with 56k modems! Jesus christ, man, get a grip. Move on and stop posting this bullshit.

Samoht always wants the last word. He will edit his comment above with nonsense I am sure. The post history still shows the truth.

Your evidence proves you're wrong. You are getting more hits in the higher range and less min hits. You only had 5% min hits before switching to a higher AC parse, and still only 11% in that instance. In Kunark era over 80% of hits were falling in the lower range of the scale, on a normal low AC target, and 15+% were min hits.

Despite the norm, not every response to every thread has to be annoying.

Answer the question and move on. It’s becoming obvious few people are attempting to solve problems and prefer to posture with other blowhards.

Is the MCT a good aggro weapon in 2025? No
Is it a good Monk dps weapon in 2025? lol, no

See? Pretty easy and not nuanced at all. Legacy weapon sucks.
Unlike the BFG. Start a thread about that one.

Here is the Sept 8, 2000 parse again, supplied by Zuranthium. This was more than a week before the Sept 19, 2000 Twig nerf:

https://web.archive.org/web/20010709...3&t=000082&p=1

I converted the data from that post into a new graph, as well as the data from my DPS calculator. I did this so the graph style is the same for both data sets. This makes for easier viewing.

People can take a look at both graphs in the attachment section and come to their own conclusions. If your argument is simply that each parse is not 100% identical, that is a silly argument. People who have done parses know you aren't always going to get the exact number of swings, damage value rolls, double attacks, etc. in two different parses.

People can read the Kunark Strategy Guide and see that 120 AC is not raid-target levels of AC:

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

This was the data used in the DPS calculator:

Quote:
A level 46 Warrior with a 9/24 Weapon in main hand with 100 STR using level appropriate skill levels.
vs.
A level 40 Mob with 200 Defense Skill, 150 AGI, 130 AC, and 1 for Parry/Riposte/Dodge.
I don't think the OP of the Sept 8, 2000 parse said what mob(s) he was parsing against.

Unlike the BFG. Start a thread about that one.
In normal conversations, one person says something another disagrees with, and then they communicate until one changes their opinion, based on what they learned from the other ... or until they both agree to disagree.

But to DSM, both those outcomes are an anathema. Once he starts one of his many forum fights, he will do everything he can to "win that fight" in his mind, no matter how incorrect his position is (including quite literally spamming the thread so that he always has the last word).

That means he NEVER listens to others or changes his opinion based on new information, and it also means he'll never settle for "we both agree to disagree" (because that would mean he didn't "win"). As a result, every thread where people have reasonable disagreements with DSM will always end this same way: DSM is almost robotic in how predictably he behaves.

(And of course, many posters here have cherished positions that they argue over; the difference with DSM, and the reason he regularly creates 100+ page threads when no one else does, is that he is uniquely extreme in this regard, even for this forum.)

I have already rebutted all of Loramin's lies in this exact thread lol. I will simply repost the link:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...4&postcount=78

Loramin is just spamming random threads with the same nonsense, because he cannot win a debate with facts and logic. He is mad that he could not supply evidence to support one of his postions, and I called him out on it. He's been on a crusade ever since.

Just to be clear, Loramin is a wiki admin actively breaking the forum rules by posting this.

I was hoping he would calm down after he put me on ignore. But as you can see he still cannot let go. I guess we will get more of the same spam from Loramin in the future.
