As a teacher, there comes a point in time where you have to admit that the approach is just not working. While it may seem like it makes common sense to teachers, there's no use hammering home about it to the students again and again because they won't listen. Especially once we get older.

A parse is wanted and I've agreed to do it. I'll aim for a large sample size (100 mobs each probably) to arguably squash any errors and form a reliable average.

Plus, it's been years since I've done anything for the community. I don't mind.

Unfortunately you won't be able to squash the errors, any monster above a monster in a starter zone will see the gap between weapons increased, however I do understand why you're doing it as his resolve to not listen to what anyone in the thread says is astounding, even when provided with absolute logical and numerical evidence.

I'd like to know this move of his that just 'drops anyone nearby' as I've eaten 3 Acheron Flame's in a row at 90 with only the brd mule dying and I was the sole healer.

Orthrus isn't dangerous at all and there's no reason to not kill it faster. If you're dying to his tp moves in one hit please reevaluate your dds and/or support.

This. I lol'd pretty hard when I read that, as I duo'd Orthrus BLU+WHM(BLM mule that was only used for procs) the day it came out for enough stones to furnish half a dozen +2 bodies. Sounds to me like we're encountering that problem again, his healer sucks horribly.
