Offhand for almace

1,000,000+ damage is a small number.

Ohkay.

No, but 100 is small number.

Since the 100 mobs for each sample has a level that varies by as much as three, if one set is higher on average then one set of mobs is going to be harder to kill because they take less damage from the same attacks and spells and have more HPs.

Do you know how level-correction works? You do less damage to mobs as their level increases because they have higher stats as their level increases. The extra damage that it took to kill the Khanda set is clear evidence that they were higher level because the idea that you somehow wasted over fifty thousand points of damage on inept spell and WS use (over 5%) is laughable.

As for your times, I honestly don't have an explanation. If the times were true and the fights took twice as long, you should have used a lot more BLU and NIN spells. Since you clearly didn't, it looks like the calculation must also take into account resting times or you were fighting with less than full MP so you would run out in the middle of the fight or doing something else to make the fights harder for yourself. It might have just been the need to cure yourself wasted so much MP that you couldn't keep up spell casting the whole time and so artificially prolonged the fights. I don't really know what your fighting style is or if you were giving it your full effort or simply did the Khanda set in a lazy and half-hearted fashion.

Heck, if the battle had actually taken twice as long then you should have taken close to twice as much damage. This and many other issues make me not believe that your times are accurate.

That being said, even with the massive issues skewing with the parse, the overall issue is still very close. That ambiguity leaves only one conclusion: the parse issues negatively affecting the Khanda set are probably the only reason it looks slightly worse, and if they aren't then the two swords are too close to call.

Still, both of you should feel free to keep being rude and dismissive. It reveals a lack of confidence in your analysis that will keep damaging your credibility long after you've forgotten about this thread.

Thanks again for providing the parse data, and please don't feel the need to respond since I won't be checking this thread any more.
